Anyone had 3 or more? I have a few questions...

[somersetsoul]

I'm 37w with no 3. First two were quick, normal labours. This one is with my new partner though so I'm expecting different! Has anyone had totally different labours with a different dad or does it make no difference?

I remember the after pains with dd2. Do they get worse with each baby?? I remember them being as bad as contractions so really dreading them :(

Any other things to know about another labour etc?? Thanks :)

Hmmmm.
I had two with exH and then two more.
I was induced with my first two then not with the other two- but that could be a progression thing.
Sorry to say but my afterpains were definitely worse each time.

My 3rd was my easiest by far (out of 4) - it was so fast that we barely made it to hospital in time and I had a planned home birth for #4. I wasn't doing transition in the car again if I could help it!
Afterpains do get worse, have pain killers at the ready.
Good luck!

Thank you both! Dreading the after pains 😔 This will be my last!!!
