Easy preg, easy labour, although it was 24 hour labour it was easy and i enjoyed every moment of it (did i just say that!?? yes in hindsight it was, at the time it wasnt so much lol)

hmn, just like "baby #1 is easy but baby #2 is hard" LOL

well, DD was no prob full stop - pregnancy and birth. Who knows what i am in for this time?

Pg#1 was a hard pregnancy, terrible m/s for 16 weeks straight, alot of fluid retension....labour 10hr 25 mins, 3rd degree tear, gas, ventouse extraction and stitches.

Pg#2 fairly average, m/s for 8 weeks but mainly nausea, stitches, 1 degree tear, gas, 6 hour terrific labour...

I guess mine have been up and down

Horrible ms until 20 weeks, pretty cruisy until 28 weeks, monitoring for IUGR, broke foot at 34 weeks, PROM at 34w6d, DS born at 35 weeks.

Easy, beautiful first stage of labour, only 10 hours with a posterior baby. Second stage was 4 hours, malpositioned baby, failed ventouse, episiotomy, forceps. But the minute he was born I was telling them I wanted to do it all over again, I loved it so much!

So yeah, up and down for me too. I got 8 weeks of lovely, stress-free pg, and the first stage of my labour was lovely. I guess that's more than some people get.

DD, had a fair amount of MS and also developed pre eclampsia so was induced at 36 weeks 4 hr labour no stiches etc.

DS no morning sickness pretty good pregnancy all the way through again induced at 40 + 10 days labour under 40 min, no stiches etc.

This one , no ms , have had contractions and false alarms, lost my plug still going strong though, so who knows should be interesting to see how this labour is.

Hmmm...

DD - unstable pelvis struck at 28 weeks, very hurty. Couldn't stand for more than 2 mins, walking very difficult so work paid for taxis to get me to and fro. Had a very long pre-labour, posterior baby - all up took 3 days to come out. 2 hours of pushing, then forceps, but only tiny tear with 2 tiny stitches.

So I think I got a hard(ish) pregnancy and a hard labour. But yippee, I got an easy baby. But still have stupid unstable hurty pelvis nine months after the birth.

I had an easy pg followed by an easy labour. Second time my pg wasn't as easy, mostly due to recurring gastro, and the labour was easy. My sister had a horror pg followed by a horror labour (40 hours then emergency c/s). I think it's all co-incidence (and not to mention preparation - if you read up on active birth it can make a HUGE difference to your labour).
