    My first labour (induced but with gels only) was 2 hours, 5 minutes!
    I think I might camp at the hospital next time too!

    Emma, i know i was shocked that i went from 21hrs with my first to 1hr44 with my second but in all honesty i can say that my second (the quicker) was so much more full on and intense. I guess though when i had previously had 21hrs for my body to do the same thing as it did in 1hr44mins i suppose you have to kinda expect it hey!

    Yes, first one was 2hrs 50min, 2nd was 2hrs.

    Both induced and started from when waters were broken.

    I worry about having to call the ambulance too! Especially if waters break :0

    NO.... Mine got longer.
    DD#1 ~ 18hrs
    DD#2 ~ 20hrs
    DD#3 ~ 25hrs (induced)

    I hope this one will be shorter but with my track record doesnt look like it.
