Hello all,
I am currently pg with number 3. I have 2 DD already aged 6 and 7 so its been a while since I gave birth.
Both my labours were fairly sraightforward to be honest. First time I was in labour for about 15 hours with only about 5-6 hours of real pain iykwim ? Only gas and air and no stiches. Although she was born with the cord wrapped round her neck so was yanked out by the head fairly quickly !
2nd DD was born about 2 hours after I arrived at the hospital. No pain relief at all ( there wasnt time I was laready 9cm when I got there ) and no stiches. I was home the next morning.
So I know I have been lucky and I feel very grateful for that. However, I am now petrified this time around. I had a mc a few months before falling pg with this one and I guess it bought it home to me that things arent always straightforward and that I have been lucky.
I have heard people say that the 3rd labour goes back to being as difficult and long as your first. Is this true ? Has anyone experienced this ? Was your third birth even quicker then the others or much longer/more awful ?
I would be grateful for any experiences.
