Carmen, I wish it was that way with all of my labours though. Admitidly I only had a 2 and a half hour first labour, 90 min second labour, my 3rd was a c section, but my 4th went for 10 hours. So I did jump back a long way.

When your really in labour you will know it. Just try and stay at home for as long as possible. When you are at home you are way more relaxed, in your own environment. Potter around the house, get last minute things done and don't rush anywhere too soon.

Goodluck girls
