lol .. with my son i was in prelabour for near 2 days then my waters broke and i was straight to the hospital lol .. I guess he was my first, I stayed for antibiotics for GBS anyway. And I was only 2cm. This time coz I'm attempting VBAC they want me in straight away. Pfft, I'm planning on having a shower and shaving my legs and underarms and downstairs .. lol .. then i'll dry my hair, maybe straighten it if i feel like it, call my dad (hes minding my son), call my doula wait for her to come (shes 1 1/2 hours away) then go to the hospital with her (im out of town - 25 mins) my dad lives in the same town too, so If its a decent hour and the weathers good I'll walk to his to help things along .. Thats my plan anyway .. who knows if it'll happen lol ..

my son 1 hour.. almost had him at the lights in townsville.. so i get full on labour from get go..

Call the hospital both times. Well, with DS it was after i believed i was actually in labour as i started with contractions. DD my waters broke during the night so i called them straight away.
ds1 induced so was in hosp, ds2 I went and got my list of last minute things for the labour bag, clothes etc that you need in the wardrobe to wear but want them in your labour bag made sure cold drink bottles etc were altogether in the fridge so they could be thrown into the bag right when I needed them and then I started cooking eggs to make egg and lettuce and egg and ham sandwich which I ate in between contractions about 30mins before ds2 was born, in the shower on a birthing ball lol
Had a shower and got ready into my comfy clothes to go to hosp - yoga pants and a top
After that I ate dinner and then said goodnight to ds1 when he was in bed(mum was there to get him ready for bed, do books etc) contractions were really strong at that point and Noah knew something was going on and was gettign a little worried when he could see my pain so was trying to be as quick as I could to say goodnight but do it pproperly, telling him he would meet his baby brother in the morning, he gave my belly lots of last kisses and then I retreated to our bedroom and dh set up birthing cd on the laptop and candles EVERYWHERE, electric oil burner and I was in our room for a bit and then got in the ensuite shower and decided to go to hosp when we ran out of hot water lol which was a good thing cause contractions were very close when we got there and I spent the rest of my labour in the shower and a bit in the bath and ds2 was born there
WHOOPS sorry got a tad carried away there...reminiscing!
I've been induced both times, so if it comes on by itself I reckon I might panic!! Especially as though we are a good 25 minutes from the hossy and last labour was 2 hrs. Plus, I still don't know who we're going to leave the kids with and how to get them there if DH is not home at the time..
