    DD#1 - shocking pregnancy. MS 24/7 for 9 months, migraines etc. Induction at 4 days o/d that took 35 hours for the whole process but basically a very good labour.

    DD#2 - repeat awful pregnancy for entire 9 months. Easiest birth in the world - no pain relief whatsoever, 2nd stage 15 minutes and went home 10 hours after her birth.

    And to take it a step further, cr*p pregnancy and DD#1 is the easiest, happiest child and DD#2 seems to be following suit.

    Mmmm I had a pretty good pg with Izzy with normal amounts of m/s - HUGE feet and fluid retention but really in the whole scheme of things I would say it was an easy pregnancy and I was induced had a 36 hour labour, and ended in an emergency c/s! As Lulu said though - horrid birth that it was, my Isabelle has been the easiest, most contented happy baby! I hope her brother follows in her footsteps regardless of the labour (and VBAC please )

    With DS1:
    i had the absolute WORST pg, i was throwing up with morning sickness the day i went into labour. I has major back, muscle and joing pain needing phisyo through the week just so i could walk properly.
    my labour was also CRAP, 26 hours before an emergancy c/sect. 15 hours of which was 2-3 mins apart but only 5cm dialated. so i guess you can say Hard pregnancy and Hard labour.

    TWINS Due Soon:
    so far my PG hasn't been as bad as with DS1 but still i would consider it hard. my labour is going to non existant i'm happy to be having another c/sect. god bless my Ob and modern medicine. my last recovery was awsome and i hope to have the same this time. so this time i'll say a Hard Pregnancy and I'll ??? the labour for now.

    #1 pregnancy was hard, bad m/s, just felt crappy the whole way through and had pre-eclampsia at the end. Labour was induced, horrible and traumatic but only 5 hours.

    #2 pregnancy was a breeze, just the normal aches and pains. Labour last 37hours spontanious but was by far easier than #1 and i felt great afterwards unlikel with #1 i felt like i had been run over 10 times.

    Not me! Each pregnancy and labour (up to #3) got harder ... except this pg has been easier than #2 and #3, but not as easy as #1 (so hopefully I'm in for a good labour this time too!!)

    For those that had hard births I think it's amazing how your bodies and minds can recover from such trumatic births and you put it all behind you and do it again ladies
