It seems everyone I talk too has a horror story about their third labour. Either going overdue, needing inducing, long labours or horrific births Confused
My first 2 were quite straight forward, 2 days late and 5 hours from first pain for my first and 3 days early with just over an hour from first pain for my second.
I'm expecting my third any time now and I wasn't worried at all before but is it really going to be that awful?!

Gorgeous home birth. Other 2 went to school and came home to find their new sister had arrived.

not had a 3rd yet but my 1st was the worst

i went 17 days over and 4 days labour and towards the end he pooed inside me and was ill for days after and doped up as i had so much medication and injections including 2 epidurals and i tore from bum hole to foof so had numerous stitches inside and out

2nd labour i went 7 days over needed a induction(think its called that as i had a sweep) was 16 hour labour and needed a ventuse as he got stuck as he was that big and long, i tore the same way again and my womb came out after him

i also had a 3rd degree tear in my bowel so a hour after the birth(which was middle of the night) i was having emergency surgery to repear the bowel and put everything back up

i am ttc no 3 at the mo
