| Linda, everyone is different. It is true that usually the first is the longest, more difficult, etc, and the ones after tend to be easier. But there are so many other things too that come into play, how active were you, what is your health, the baby plays a part in it also, so there is no way really to get a good prediction. I think hoping for the best is the easiest, do what good prep youcan, and when it comes it comes, and there really isn't anything you can do about it then, lol. As for me: My first: Labor was 2 hours my second 17 months later: Labor was 1 hour My next 16 years later: Labor was 3 hours Compare that with sonia's you can see how different every pregnancy is. I recommend walking a lot, it has been said to aid in labor duration. ↑ |

| Great question, my son is also 9 and im on my second pregnancy and if what your saying is true, shoot me now! I had many complications with my sons birth, first i had toxemia where you blow up like a balloon and it hurts to move, in the beginning of my labor, my water broke, which is rare so I had to go to the hospital right away. My labor lasted 30 hours and I was pushing for 3 after that. I did have an epidural but I didnt know when to push. My pushing was guided. Well after that horror story I dont want to go through that again. Ive read that if your labor lasts longer than 24 hours, they will give you a c-section. Boy i wish I had one then. Anyway I know how you feel, Im hoping since this is my second it will be better and also this time I will take birth classes and breast feeding classes, that way im not so ignorant when it comes down to it. So how far along are you? im on my 23rd week. ↑ |
