My first was 1 hr 45 mins from start to finish and we live (depending on traffic) an hour or so from the hospital, we called he mw when I started getting pains and they told me to have a shower and go to bed because it was my first so no doubt would take a while, we then called again and again and eventually called DHs aunt who is a mw and she was the one who told me that I would know when I had to go. Then I started pushing at home!! Luckily it was midnight so no one was on the road and DH drove at about 120km/h but we made I with 10 minutes to spare, if my mum and sister weren't with us I know we wouldn't have made it because I'm sure DH would have stopped to help me! Anyway with DS2 no one mentioned anything about being induced! I was told because DS came so quick that I sustained a 3b degree tear and lots of muscle damage that require surgery straight after birth that I could have a cs! DS2 had other plans and I went into spontaneous labour 6 days before my cs date and despite knowing I was in labour and leaving straight away for the hospital and all the mw and obs best effort to prep me for surgery in time I ended up having a virginal delivery and a labour of just over 2hrs from start to finish! Ill be interested as to what the midwives suggest this time around when I start seeing them in a few weeks
