My nans babies got bigger everytime so it was harder/longer for her. Depends on the person & the baby I guess.

I was in labour for about 2 hrs with my second, i was only at the hospital 20 min when i had her. No stitches either (I had a second degree tear with first). I felt great after, so much better than with my first. No pain relief either.

 

[Tezzy]

thanks for your encouragement girls!

I hope so they're quicker!!! Be nice to think so. My mum was in labour 6 hours with my brother and 3.5 with me so fingers crossed!

I was in labour 3hrs 53 mins (8 days early) with first, second was 20 mins (9 days late), and third was 3hrs 51 mins (8 days early) was also in labour on and off for a week at 29 weeks with third son but they stopped it. I'm hoping this one is late.
