My last labour started with waters breaking in bed, followed by back contractions 5 min apart lasting 45 secs, never got closer, only slightly stronger before my csection (was planned turned into emergency)
They all built from nothing.. DS's started in the afternoon.. DD1's about 2 hours after my waters broke.. and DD2's were in the middle of the night.. im guessing hers started from nothing as they woke me up when they started to get some pain to them. They all started around 11 minutes apart.
DS1 i felt little niggles come and go on the sat night as i went to bed, woke up about 2ish and they were still there a little stronger. I'd say in the beginning they were about 10min apart. Things progressed from there but DS still didn't arrive until 12:49am on the Monday.
DS2 it was my waters breaking with no pain whatsoever at about 8ish in the morning. I had a few hours of no pain but i'd say by about 11ish i was beginning to have contactions. I can't remember how far apart they were i'm sorry and i only had about an hour of my own contractions before i was induced anyway because of merconium in my waters.
DD i felt fairly strong (but not painful) tightenings across the front of my lower belly while i was sittng up at about 3am and they would have been about 10min apart. This continued for most of the following day with them gradually getting a little stronger. At about 4ish i had a lay down which seemed to slow them down, i wasn't happy with that so i got up and from then on things really go going.
