I was actually looking forward to birth the 2nd and 3rd times. Particularly the 3rd. With DD, I was induced and had a very long and painful labour which was a bit traumatic for both of us. When I went into pabour with DS1, I knew from DD's birth how strong I was. I knew I could do it, put up with alot and get through it by myself. And I did. When in labour with DS2, again I knew I was strong, empowered and powerful and I could and would do it.
