I am quite interested in this thread. I didn't know I was even having contractions with DD until it was time to push. DD was induced and a "slow" 6 hour labour because they had to turn the drip down til it was only basically telling my body I was labouring. Midwife was quite shocked with CTG machine going so nuts on the that I didn't feel the contractions. I think it was because I didn't let the labour scare me. All of a sudden I had to get DP to get the midwife just outside the door. I was told most likely next bub will be fast if I'm left to labour naturally.
