I was 41+3 with no signs of labour, then on Thursday evening I started to feel like what I felt were braxton hix then they started to increase in severity but I was still feeding my daughter, doing stuff round the house then around 8:30pm I asked my mum for paracetamol she came around 9ish and I definitely knew they were contractions and then I just laboured at home just breathing through, they got intense around 11pm I called the midwife about 12:30 then again at 1:30, she came about 2am and I was 7cm and then he was born by 3:30am, pushing phase was quick, just had gas and air from 2am-3:30am had a beautiful home birth, we all cried and hugged and then I got in the shower and went to bed and my daughter woke up to her new little brother.

keep the faith ladies, I had zero signs and was schedule for induction at 42 weeks, so glad I waited it out for a perfect birth.
