Anyone else looking forward to third tri/labour?

[Zeri]

Thanks for sharing! Yes, I do remember third tri ss being uncomfortable too- swollen feet etc. Not looking fwd so much to that part, but everything else- yes! Glad I'm not alone. Someone described labour as a big adrenalin rush and that's how I feel about it too.

Me! Cannot wait lots of reasons, one step closer to holding our little squish, not a fan of Preg, and can't make baby purchase until third tri. Really going to love third tri I do enjoy that trimester for sure. Have been lucky enough to have 2 lovely labours & have enjoyed the labouring process so giving birth I'm looking forward to also x

Im 50/50. I was dead excited for my 2nd labour, but dont feel the same about my third.

 

[notmommyyet]

I am so looking forward to labour. I was induced with pitocin so contractions started at 2 mins apart for 26 hours nd boy was it rough. But it was such n amazing experience. I cant wait to do it all again

 

[ttc_lolly]

I can't wait for it! I mean, neither of my labours were great but I honestly and hand on my heart can't 100% remember the pain with either, and it's all worth it because of what you get at the end third tri I'm not so excited about as I suffered badly with SPD with dd2 and I remember the pain and agony from that but being there means you're nearing the end so it's got to be good!

I loved labour and delivery and am excited to be doing it again. I don't want the pregnancy to fly by tho as this will be my last so I want to be pregnant forever lol. I won't be saying that if I get SPD again lol xx

 

[noshowjo]

Yes me . My first labour was horrific and second was amazing . I hope it goes same was as second baby .
I'm looking forward to even birth even tho I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead and may have big babba .

It's great to hear so many positive feelings about labour! Sometimes it's made out to be such an awful thing. I've had easy pregnancies so far...not sure if my feelings would change if I had a difficult pregnancy/labour...but so far I really enjoy the whole experience, and would be pregnant again and again and again if I could, lol.

I don't mind looking forward to my labor as long as its hopefully similar to my first. My labor with my first pregnancy with ds was great. It was only about 11 hours long. My ds broke my water and then I got the epidural due to the contractions being more stonger and painful lol

 

[fizzypop]

I have HG and would give birth a million times over to avoid this hell hole. Labour for me was a total piece of p*ss compared to pregnancy!!

 

[Sour_Skittle]

No no no. Not looking forward to labor at all! Third pregnancy and my other pregnancies were even with drugs... Lol. Idk... I'm starting to wonder if labor hurts some women as much as it hurts others.... Some describe it as having to poop... Others barely make a sound... I'm the type where I cry and pray to my Heavenly Father to please not let another contraction come.. Lol. Maybe I'm dramatic... I tried so hard every two minutes to keep my composure but failed miserably every time...

 

[Sour_Skittle]

I look forward to her birth and those first days together though.

 

[Elizdia]

I can't wait! Its my first so i have nothing to compare it to and i know its going to be painful but i just think its so amazing that i want to enjoy every second!

Thanks for this thread, I have been pretty nervous about labour as my last one was shockingly painful (no sour skittle, you aren't being dramatic! I for sure think it hurts some more than others, too ) But reading all these posts is helping me to feel a little more optimistic.

Everyone in the room with my (mum, DH, nurses & doctor) all say I handled it really well. It was only 8 hr labour and 20 mins pushing... but I was just wild with pain after transition and it shocked me to my core - took me a while to come to terms with myself. I am going to look into hypnobirthing this time, hoping to handle it better.

I am looking forward to 3rd tri! Mostly I am just thrilled to be in second and not be puking and nauseous constantly! YAY

 

[zenaa]

Bring it on im looking forward for third trimester but no so keen on how I will be during labor its my first time and I never hear any positive birth stories so hopefully im one of those lucky people that wont feel 'as much' pain

 

[Sunseal]

I can't get there quick enough!
Can't wait to get to third tri (so close!) and cannot wait to get my little treasure out

 

[ajlj1126]

I hated my last month and a half of pregnancy.. I couldn't sleep, get comfortable, had no motivation to do anything, was HUGE and miserable. But I absolutely loved labor & delivery, call me crazy, but I can't wait for that part again!

 

[nesSAH]

I am a bit excited. I am counting on a few things tho':
1. Third time labor is quicker than first & second
2. Babies are small sized
3. I can have vaginal birth

So, provided all goes as above (God willing)- yeah! I'm super excited about labour

But we all know pregnancies and labor are so unpredictable.......

 

[Laylagirl]

Call me crazy... but I'm looking forward to third tri and labour! In my 1st pregnancy I was pretty apprehensive about labour and the pain and how I would cope..I had a natural (drug free AND induced with pitocin) birth which was very painful but the whole experience was awe-inspiring for me...like running a marathon and reaching the finish line. .lots of pain and exhaustion but a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and relief at the end. Even going into labour was exciting! It's
just amazing what our female bodies can do I'm looking forward to doing it again (naturally), and meeting my baby at the end of it.

How are you guys feeling about third tri?

Im with you on this one....I don't like actually being pregnant, but I love the whole birth experience...Its an amazing feeling to bring a person into the world...Its empowering..Its painful but the feeling you have when you push and then the baby is in your arms...Iam really looking forward to it myself! I am only half way there though...My LO came at 38 weeks....My WHOLE labor from water breaking to delivery though was 2 hours!!! My water broke in my sleep and 2:58 AM and my little one came into the world at 5:07 AM.... It was an incredible experience..but scary... I had two kids prior to that but that last one was the scariest as no one was prepared in my labor room....so I didn't get to prep...I was laying on the bed and the nurse was trying to get things ready and I screamed and the baby popped out onto the bed...No one there to catch her...I didn't know what to do as she was still attached to the umbilical cord so she just lay there cold and crying....for a while...The nurse panicked and started yelling into a monitor for help... She was the only one in the room and no dr, no other nurses, nothing....So I didn't get to hold my baby girl till about 6:30 AM... It was scary and I didn't get that empowering experience, but with my first two, I loved it.... So hopefully this next baby labor experience goes quickly, but that everyone is fully READY for him! LOL

Wow, that's quite a story!

I hope we all have great labour experiences this time around.
