in my case the labours got quicker but I had longer prelabours
Me too...........

Olivia was 7 hours from start to finish, and no pre-labour
Charlie was induced, my waters broke immediately and he was born 2 hours later
Lexie was WEEKS worth of pre-labour and then 40 minutes labour from waters breaking to when I held her.............

My lovely OB suggested that if we were to have #4 that we had best camp out at the hospital from 38 weeks or go the home-birth, LOL! (Sadly no more for us............)
