Hi
My first labour was 4 hours, my 2nd labour was 45 minutes and my 3rd was 55 minutes. all started from nothing to full on contractions less then 3 minutes apart.no warm up.

I have to say that def staying of the bed was my best thing, the shower was great. I needed to get on the bed in my last labour but i knelt leaning over the bed which i got them to sit up..
I found in my last labour that i had to make myself think that with every contraction my baby was closer....not so easy when labour is so fast and hard.
