My DC2 was born in three hours. It was quick but horrendously painful with no time for an epi. I got a 3 degree tear so having just laboured with g&a, was wheeled off to theatre for a spinal, which they failed to put in the correct place several times. The whole thing was awful and left me feeling pretty stunned. My ds of course is a peach and totally worth every hideous second.
However, I have noticed that lots of second time mums keep banging on about how totally different the experience is second time around, how lucky they are to have a quick birth etc.
So aibu to be hacked off that people assume I am really lucky to have had a quick birth?
