Ok, I used to think I was the only person who did this, but apparently not.

I was just talking to my mum about labour and birth and how big we all were, and naturally my 'little' brother came up because he was her biggest baby, at something like 12 pounds. I commented that I have no idea how I'd handle that and she said "I don't remember any of it". She can remember at least bits from the other 6 labours - but nothing of his - only that she didn't tear and the doctors decided 12lbs meant he was overdue.

Well, I don't remember ANYTHING of CJs either. I remember the telstra guy installing the foxtel the day before - and worrying I would go into labour, and I remember being woken up by the midwife at 5am the next day - but the 28th is a complete blank. All I can recall is "textbook" labour and delivery and... I didn't tear.

So is it just that faulty memory runs in my family, or are we not alone? Is there anyone else who cant recall the events of a labour?
