Sue, my last bub was my 4th and even though there is just under 3 years age gap between her and her closest brother I had not laboured for nearly 11 years. My body did treat it like a first labour once again, but I also had other reasons for the hold up.

I was so sure too that I would go early, even my midwife thought so. Bub was engaged and so ow in my pelvis from and early time and I was 3 cm's dilated before labour even began. Tehya was born the day before her due date.

So I guess what I am saying is that no one can predict what is going to happen. Bub will come when it's ready with no consideration to anyone else
