Tell me about your third!

DS was 10lb 11oz and it was a better birth than DD for me Sara!

Who knows what this one will bring?

My first was 6lb10oz, next smaller and third waaay bigger (almost double second lol) but it was with a new partner. The labour was much easier until I got to 10cms but she had position issues and an arm up so it ended up being my most painful yet. But getting to 9/10cms was a breeze, took me a while to believe I was in labour despite regular contractions getting closer lol, but then progress came to a grinding halt at the end and the pain was off the chart. I wonder if I had been more active during my pregnancy it might have ended better.

My midwife told me third labours are the tricky ones; they either go really well or they throw a curve ball!

With my third, I wasnt induced so it was different from the other two automatically but it definitely threw a curve ball; I went into labour at midnight on the start of my EDD but didnt actually dialate or go into established labour until 1pm! It was kind of horrible having 3min apart contractions and have it not do anything for hours but when he finally dropped into my pelvis he was born in 2 hours. It was definitely easier physically and mentally though.

Sara I absolutely loved my births and to me I couldn't tell you any difference between birthing any of my bubs.


I can link my birth story if you would like to read it.
