I am too classed as obese, i have had 3 wonderful labours. my longest labour of 4 hours consisted of me having an epidural and laying down due to pre eclampsia and this i feel was my hardest labour. I was at my lightest with bub number 1.

My two other labours were natural labours with no pain relief at all, I stood with my second and had him in 45 minutes, and i knelt on the bed with my third and had him in 50 minutes.
