I'm also afraid, my first was so easy I was in labor 8 hours dilated quickly pushed a couple times & didn't tear or anything, however that pregnancy was a breeze also lol this pregnancy has been so difficult I can't help but think the labor will be just as bad, but so worth it in the end =)

thank you everyone :) im just soo nervous as my first i was in slpw labour for 24 hours and was in active labour for 45 hours it was a killer at the beginnin but soon as i got to the hospital.. i was only 2cm dilated n took 14 hours just to gt to 5cm but the nurse said that was due to pain relief slowing down my labour and i was 8 days late... iv been told i could very possably be early this time and that second labour always is a lot faster... but i suppose it depends on how it goes really... i really hope im nt in labour too long im still unaware of what to expect as i can only member certain lil things but nothing about the pain because of the drugs i was knocked out i had morphine gas n air n epidural lol.. thank you all for your advice :) xx

My first was 7 hours, second was 3 hours, third was 5 hours, fourth was 6 hours. So I'm hoping this little girl makes a quick appearance. I didn't have an epidural with any of them. Cannot wait for August to come around...

My second was so easy compared to my first.  I was in active labor for 19 hours with my first, all night long, pushed for almost 2 hours.  With my second I was in active labor for 6 hours, it didnt get too painful till pretty close to the end, i pushed 3 times and he was out.  My 3rd was more like my first, but I only had to push 3 times.  Im hoping number 4 is more like the second!  All 3 were completely natural.
