I went from 18 hours, to 30, down to 5. So that was a shock! 4th was 12!!

I did have 2 or 3 contractions the morning before, but that was the only preperation/warning I had. No plug/show etc. It was about 26 hours between those first few contractions & the actual start of labour.

It was my first where the contractions didn't get regular at all. Even during transition & pushing. #4 was the same. I'm pretty sure it was babies position that caused that
