quicker labours
ive heard that with every child you have the general rule is that labour is quicker than the last?
im pregnant with my 3rd and very worried about time scale of labour!
my first was 15hrs, and my second was only an hour and a half!! just a little worried if every labour is suppost to be quicker each time that i wont have enough time to get to the hospital!!
just wondered if you ladies that have had 3 or more children could share your experiences with this?
ive also been told that the 3rd is the hardest? is this true??

I would suggest you go straight in at the first signs of labour, i literally walked into the delivery room and the babys head popped out.
Althoug my 3 and only 3 years apart. good luck x
im just extreamly worried i wont get to the hospital in time and i end up having baby in the car!! lol.

Second was born in 34mins, i kid you not, woke up at 7am son was born on bedroom floor delivered by hubby at 7.34am!
Third was 1 hour 15 mins nicest labour born again at home but in pool, also no assistance again but midwife did arrive just minutes after she was born.
My fourth is due in november and i've already had all the jokes that i'll probably just sneeze hard around bonfire night and find this baby in my tights lol.
