Ok. My waters broke with dd1 at 12.30am. First contraction was at about 1.30am. They were 20-30 minutes apart til 6am, then 5 minutes apart all day. I think I got to 4 cm dialated at about 12pm(they expected me to be about 7cm).
When I was only 7cm they were expecting 10, but they got me to push anyway. That was at about 4pm.
She was born at 1856 - 6.56pm.
So...18.5 hours from waters breaking, 13 hours from regular 5 minute contractions, & 7 hours from 4cm, but only went to 7cm.
DD2 was 30 hours from 1st contraction. Pre labour was from 2.15am on Saturday. 10.30pm they were regular & painful, but still 30 minutes apart. I was in alot of pain at 1.30am Sunday, so went up to hossy. They started 5 minutes apart as soon as I got up to get ready to go.
Was 6-7 cm when I got there. She was born at 7.08am.
So...30 hours from 1st contraction. 8.5 hours from painful contractions - Possibly from 4cm??? 5.5 hours from 5 minute apart contractions.
DS - 2 contractions at 5am on Friday morning. Nothing all day. Contractions started 5.15am Saturday morning. about 10 minutes apart. Waters broke at about 6am. Mecconium in it, so went to hossy. Got there about 7.30am & was 5cm dialated. Born at 10.15am
So 5 hours hard & fast - never got the chance to time contractions. & when we did they were all over the place. They never really got regular. Sometimes they were 2 minutes apart, sometimes 5 minutes. Sometimes they were 30sec long, sometimes 1.5 minutes. Right up til birth.
