With my first, I had been sitting in bed crying about not being in labour when I felt wet and jumped out of bed to find I had had a bloody show. Then I had absolutely nothing all day until 7pm when my contractions suddenly started at 15 mins apart.

With my second I had lots of pre labour and my waters even broke the day before I actually had him. I then had no signs of labour until 10pm when contractions started at about 10 mins apart and I gave birth about 2.5 hours later.
