Labor and Genetics??

[NawlinsMama]

My mom had two naturally at 21 and 24 years old, then had me via c-section at 40 years of age (I was breech).

One of my sisters has had three naturally, no issues at all, at 26, 29, and 32. My other sister had a c-section with her only daughter, but she was 35 at the time.

And I had DD naturally (induced, though) at 18.

So I think for my family it has more to do with age than anything else.

My mum, nan, great nan etc all had natural births. My mum was induced with her first (me) but not her second... hope I get to experience a lovely natural birth!

The genetics thing didn't work for me.

Maternal Grandmother: 8 children, all delivered vaginally.
My Mum: 2 children delivered vaginally.

Me?...2 sections, one at 29 weeks, one at 39 weeks due to pre-eclampsia...and will be having a third section with this one!!

My mum had easy labours, so did my gran and so did me and my sister. No one in my family has had a csection x

I really hope genetics wont play a part for me...I really want a natural birth, or at least know I can dilate unlike the rest of the women in my family!

My mum was induced for being late with me and had normal births with my sisters. I went over with my daughter, went into labour naturally, but had to have a section as little-miss-stress-head wasn't happy. I dilated to 8/9cm and was still dilating at the point of section but baby couldn't wait any longer. I'm pretty sure that with a different baby I'd have no probs pushing it out.

My Mum gave birth within 10hrs of first feeling contraction with both me and my brother. I gave birth 94hrs after starting to feel contractions. No correlation here!
