When to go to hospital for birth of 2nd child

[BekZ]

With DD2 I woke at 1.30am with an almighty pain. I got up straight away. My contractions started at 5 mins apart. By 2.30am they were 3mins apart and getting a little ouchy. I woke up DH and we went to the hospital (after stopping at Maccas for his sake). I got to hospital with 45 mins to spare.

I lost my plug that morning so I knew some thing was going to happen very soon. At the time I lived 10 mins to the hospital so I wasn't worried about getting there.

If live a distance from hossy then give yourself plenty of time. You'll know when the time is right

Everyone's different hun. I'd trust your instinct. My second labour was 3 hours and he was early so I didn't even have a bag packed - I had to leave without one! But I knew when labour started that it wouldn't be long so I followed my instinct and went - luckily because I didn't make it by much LOL!

I went in when my contractions were about 3-4 minutes apart. We only lived about 5minutes from the hospital. I was 4cm when i got checked and had him 1 hour 29 minutes later My dh is worried about me not making it to the hospital this time
