DS labour started around 10pm...laboured all day and DS was born via ECS at about 11pm the next night. I was exhausted after being up all day before going into labour, had horrendous back labour throughout and spent most of my time at the hossy.

With DS2, labour started at 3am - I'd had a decent sleep and focused on resting in the morning while I could - I didn't sleep until later on when I had my one minute power naps between contractions, but I was really conscious of conserving my energy as it was exhaustion which started the cascade of interventions that led to my previous CS. Laboured at home until 2:30ish before heading to hossy. DS2 was born at 4:15pm. Def prefer this to my first as I was at home for most of it and well rested too.
