Brendan bleeding from 16 weeks until roughly 24 weeks. PPROM at 28 weeks even. Born 30+1. Terrible morning/all day sickness which included constant vomiting. Labour was very intense, I woke up with contractions every few mins. Official labour (from 4cms dilation) times state just over 18 hours.
2nd bub was a m/c at 17 weeks by d&c. Most likely cause of passing was electrocution. (Long story, but I basically got a boot from our hot water system) I never looked into why and still don't want to know.
Tristan labour started at 26 weeks, steroids and meds kept me pregnant until 34+2, laboured for approx 8 hours (official times, 4cms dilated) Morning sickness minimal. Labour was bearable (was given only gas and a spinal/epidural combo, epi didn't work)
Main differences were, Brendan was a dry birth and he was posterior. Tristan was very much a wet birth (waters were broken about 1 hour before birth).
Hope that helps
*ETA* with Brendan PPROM was very sudden, no warning. At 26 weeks with Tristan I just had a bad feeling and went to the hospital.
