Satya- this might sound dumb but how do i get my discharge papers? I don't remember being given any papers? I still have my yellow pregnancy card thingy from DS, i'll have a look and see if it says how long it was on there.
Thanks for your input Trillian, i agree with what you said about the body having to do a lot of work to get the cervix ready for birth- i don't think my body was anywhere near labour- bub was still high, cervix long, no show etc however i was 2cm dialated naturally when i went in. I think because bub and i weren't ready for labour everything was a lot more intense and painful than it should have been.
So since i've already been through labour once and my cervix is stretched (so to speak ) does that mean my cervix will open more easily this time??
