Yup, add me to the list too - first was 3 weeks early, second a week late.
With the first, my waters broke and then many many hours of contractions, synto, epidural, episiotomy, the works!! With the second, had runs of contractions for weeks, so the day they were the real thing I was out having a nice lunch with DH and doing some shopping until he convinced me to go home and ring the ob. Rang ob at 3pm, arrived at hospital at 3.30pm, DD born at 5.30pm. No time for pain relief, and only a tiny tear
