Hi ladies, how did the labour start for you? And how was it the second time in comparison to the first (those that had a second one already)?

I've had a sweep last time, had some brown discharge and mild contractions after, then it died completely by the evening and started again at 3am. I gave birth at 40 weeks and 5 days. Just wondering what it will be like this time... Can't wait to meet my son, but dreading labour and the adjustment period, and my daughter's jealousy :( not sure if I want to get it over and done with or stay pregnant for as long as possible lol :) really craving a pineapple too...
