My second child was an ultra quick labour
The water broke @ 3.50pm and she was born @ 4.03pm!!!
0-9.5cms dilated in 10 mins!!!!! WOW
I know that its common to have a quick 2nd labour but I didn't think it would be THAT quick
She weighed in at a healthy 9lb 15oz!!

I had my little girl 6 yrs ago - my 1 and only!
For the whole 9 months of being pregnant I had laid awake in bed absolutely sh1tting myself about the labour, birth, PAIN I was going to have after the horror stories I had heard about women 'going round the clock' 36 hrs, being cut and stitched and all that sort of stuff - its safe to say I was terrified.
I went into labour, gave 3 or 4 pushes, no pain relief and Emily was born into the world in 35 mins start to finish!
All that worrying for nothing!!!!! ( well not nothing - I got my babe - but you know what I mean)

Yours is pretty fast, but most of the time women have been silently dilating or laboring without feeling contractions for awhile. I am one of those women who never felt the Braxton Hicks at all, and I was contracted without feeling it, I'd usually start feeling the contractions aroaund 5-6 cm.
Most likely you had been painlessly dilating for a period of time, then with the bag bulging out the pressure becomes too much and it pops, slamming the baby's head down on the cervix. A few unlucky women have cervixes that become edematous when this happen, leading to a c-section for failure to progress, while others progress quickly from the weight of the baby and dilate rapidly.
Congrats on delivering at 10 lb baby in 15 minutes that's really something!

I had my little boy about 6 weeks ago, I had contractions for a few hours beforehand, but they wont class it as labour untill your 10cm or your waters break. My waters broke at 2am at 5-6cm dilated as they were about to send me home, my son arrived at 2:06 am. 6 minutes of labour.

Just today there was a news report here in Seattle about a mom who had her baby on the way to the hospital in the back seat of the family car. Sounds to me like it doesn't get much quicker than that!
