My 2nd birth was bliss. Different hospital, but it was even better than the first time round.

Olivia (first labour) was 7 hours, totally natural, despite shoulder distocia.

Charlie was induced, but aside from that I had no other intervention at all, no pain relief etc. A 3 hour labour, no tears. I gave birth standing up, and it was just fantastic........fast & furious, but amazing.......once I got over teh speed of the contractions, and went with it, it was full on, but I did feel in control, and I knew he was coming fast, and it was tops!

(3rd birth was even quicker........and even better!)
