Oskar was 4 days over and Elijah 3 under. I won't compare to Joshua as he was c/s no labour.

Oskar's birth was faster but a lot to do with him being distressed and a lot of meconium in my waters, so he was vacuum assisted. He was 3 1/2 hours - I didn't get any prelabour or notice anything before active labour. Elijah was all on his own, waters broke spontaneously all clear and he took his time getting through under pubic bone though. I'd say Elijah's birth was better in a lot of ways just longer. He was 12 hours from when I woke at 9 mins apart but active labour probably about 4 hours so very similar to Oskar there. Hope that makes sense... you'll be ok Rachel and it's normal to feel some anxious feelings and have questions as the birth gets closer.
