I was wondering if anyone can say this was true for them or not. I was having a break down about my upcoming labour and it seems my mother has a little theory....
She said she has always thought I would have a 'too quick' labour - in so much as she thinks there will be more danger of me giving birth in a taxi on the way to the hospital as opposed to a 36 hour marathon. She believes this because I have - in her words "Incredibly strong hormones!" Meaning I have always suffered with the heaviest worst periods possible, murderous PMT, fantastical mood swings - I am a bit of a nightmare to be honest. I am up and down like a yo-yo! Do you think there is any truth at all in this?! strong hormones = fast labour?!
As a secondary query - I have very wide 'childbearing' hips? As she calls them. (She is full of compliments) do these genuinely help? as the name suggests.
The only two people I know who have given birth had apparently nightmare labours and they are both size 6 to 8, very calm and reasoned people - and I am not sure either of them even have hips?! Not that I am jealous, much.
Anyone think dear mother has a point?!

My mother has a theory re: fast, easy labour vs slow, difficult labour?
