1330 -- So I was finishing writing up an interview and felt a few low twinges like period pain

Called husband to say 'come home'

1430 -- had just 3 contractions

Called MIL to mid dd

1500 -- contractions every 2 mins lasting 45s

1530 -- waters broke in hospital car park - signed in

1730 -- felt urge to push - mw confirmed fully dilated

1735 -- 4 big pushes and a wee tear <no stitches needed> and there was my boy!!!!!

would've had entenox, but unlike first labour the contractions never came continuously ... so I was 'saving' the gas till it got bad .... but it never did!

much more intense contractions than first time tho

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
