with dd1 and dd2 I had the runs and had a baby within 24rs, that was it for prelabour

With dd3 I had prelabour for about two weeks. Lots of BH's, the runs, was losing plug for ages, couldnt sleep. My midwife said its pretty normal for third bubs to have lots of pre labour.

I had fairly straightforward labours with all three, about 6-7 hours active labour with each so the extra prelabour didnt make it quicker although I only pushed for 3 minutes with dd3 so that was quicker and she was almost 1kg heavier than dd3
