I had to be induced but I had a fast delivery. I had preeclampsia and a baby that inter uterine growth restriction. My boy was 18 inches long 4lbs 12ozs  He was born at 35 weeks I also had 2 miscarriages before him. So far this pregnancy seems to be going great.

My mom delivered on time with me late with my brother had no complications but her labor lasted forever.

My aunt Tracy had preeclampsia with her first but still carried him to term. She had to have a csection with her second and her 3rd she delivered but they had to use forceps.

My aunt Theresa was pregnant with twins had them at 28 weeks. And had a complicated pregnancy.

I believe all women are different and have different deliveries and all pregnancies are different.

The only thing I had in common with my mom's births was how easy it was. Idk if it's our pain tolerance or not, but she had my bro and I easily. I had my daughter in three quick pushes.

Nothing like my mom. She had all her kids late and I had my son early. We are the same height, weight, both have wide hips. I think it depends on when the baby is ready to come.

My delivery was opposite of my mother, she had all 3 of us kids natural and I had both of mine via c-section, first was emergency. I think it really depends on body type, my body type is completely opposite of my mothers, however my sister was exactly the same size as me, height and weight, and she had exact same birth experiences as me, firs an emergency c-section, 2nd was planned.

I was nothing like my mom. She was in labor with me for 26 hours ( before they started doing c section s after 24)  and she went two weeks over. I was only in labor for about twelve and I got induced at 39 weeks.
