Very overdue = short labour?

I just wouldn't be very happy if I waited all this time, and then had a 3 day labour or something.. lol...

I think anything under 12 I will be happy with (did you hear that Rabbit? Be nice to mummy.. )

I was 9 days over with DD#2 and she was born 10 minutes after my waters broke - 4cms dilated to birth in 10 minutes so thank God I'd already gone to the hospital!! I had had so much pre-labour though that it was the joke in my house that I'd be sitting surrounded in a pool of amniotic fluid before I would actually accept I was in actual, real labour.

DD#1 at 5 days over was 35 hours.

Good luck for a quick, safe birth very soon.

Mel, I was in labour with DS for 14 hours (at 35 weeks, but still a big head , and posterior). It was lovely, and I can't wait to go back I would maybe ask for a couple of hours less next time, because I was quite tired after about 12 hours, but it was still great!
