Well DS1's labour was the longest out of all of them - 22 hrs (so far, still got one to go!)...had been contracting since 1am that morning, by 10am couldnt take it anymore so off to hossy...contractions were getting intense and I was panting and groaning through them all in the front seat of the car, DP got distracted by me doing this and ran straight into the back of another car...a BMW no less....got out to let the other driver know what was happening and told him to follow us to the hosp, which was only 500m up the road...so I was left to get into hossy by myself whilst DP swapped details!! Thankfully no one was hurt and DS1 was out by 10pm that night!

DD1 was 5 days past her due date...I was at home alone and was letting DS1 (a toddler then) have a play outside with our dog.....dog was thirsty so I went to refill his water bowl. Couldnt see my feet as I was so big, managed to trip up a step with full water bowl in my hands...bowl went flying, put my hands out in front of myself to stop me landing on my belly, managed to land on my hands and knees and turn myself around. Had some grazes on my hands but belly was alright...got a heck of a fright though! 5 hours later, I was on my way to hosp in labour, she was born another 6 hours after I arrived....I reckon if I hadnt of had that fall and fright I may have ended up being induced!

DD2 was pretty boring, 11 days past due date, very little fluid, got induced....6 hours labour...oh, I did manage to throw up over a poor midwife...had no warning it was coming! I felt so bad for her

And as for no.4, well hes due any day now so hopefully Ill have something cool to post about his arrival soon
