Moms with 2 or more who went into Natural Labor

A few questions:

If you went into labor naturally: How many weeks were you when your second+ child was born?

Did you "know" that the baby was coming sooner?

Did you make sure your hospital bag was packed and everything was in order earlier than with the first?

I haven't done anything yet in terms of packing/getting ready for the hospital. I am 32 weeks and I know I still have some time, but I just don't have the energy to prepare. I feel like this baby is ready to come out, however I know that isn't the case just yet.

I had my second child at 39 weeks. No, I didnt know she was coming. In fact, the only thing that was the same as with my first was pain in the kidney area. My water broke with my 1st so it was pretty easy to figure out, it took me awhile to finally say that we should probably call the doctor with #2. I did have my bag ready more or less. My DH was able to bring whatever I felt I forgot afterwards.

My second one came about 10 days early. There was no dount I was in labor, it came out of nowhere and it came fast. My bag was packed, and DH went home for a bit after I was settled to get me the rest of the things I needed.
