Is there any truth in the tale that your labour is likely to reflect your mother's? Obviously they won't be identical, and you might have complication etc. But for example, my mum was in the delivery room for just 2.5hrs with my brother and only 20 minutes with me!!! People keep telling me I'll probably have a quick labour. I was wondering if there's really any truth in that? Much as I'd welcome a quick labour, I'd also like pain control (probably an epidural) and I'm worried it'll happen so fast that I won't have time for pain relief
