2nd, 3rd time moms & beyond

When you were pregnant with your 1st baby did you have the thought of oh I know labor & delivery is going to hurt, but then you end up having a whole new definition of the word pain once it all happened? I was more prepared for the pain the 2nd time around. By the 3rd time I was scared again bc I knew how bad it was gonna be & I really wanted to avoid it haha.

I had no pain relief for my first at 24, and sort felt that I couldnt have it for any of the births that followed as I had already done it al-la-naturale, I'm usually ok until around 36 wks then start to freak for abit, but I have to admit the more I have the less it hurts this last one I had labour was only 1 hr long and about 5 painful contractions, I had a waterbirth this time round so I think that made  a difference :)

I'm looking forward to this second labor. Hoping I can do it better than the first time without the epidural! I have a whole thing planned out for it!!

My first went pretty good
I was induced and she was in my arms in less then 6 hours :) no pain meds
Now I'm pregnant with the 2nd and I hope it's the same lol
The pain was bad but it wasnt enough for me to ask for meds

Thats it I had all of mine with no drugs. But was in no way prepared for the pain the 1st time around lol. Obviously we all did again, & again & again...... Lol and after that 1st time we knew darn well what was coming! But honestly, I'm more afraid of a big needle in my spine lol

My first and second were pretty easy and quick...but this one is 8 years later and am kind of nervous...i had both my others naturally so im really hoping i can do it with this one as well.

My first one went so badly that I wasnt nervous second time cos I knew it couldnt go any worse! My second was so quick and a fantastic experience, I would have done it 10x over! Now I'm having my third, I'm nervous because I think that maybe I couldnt be so lucky to have another wonderful birth...and I will never forget how horrendous the first was, so am scared of that outcome.

I'm pregnant with baby number 5! My last daughter was born almost 11 years ago, and you can never forget that pain!! So now I'm terrified of labor, plus like an idiot I googled natural child birth videos so I have an idea of what my bf will see, worst mistake ever! Not only was I some what grossed out but I also scared myself even worse! I never had an epidural from fear of needles and won't with this one either! I hope I can handle it!
