Ok this is sort of a poll, just cos I'm interested (and obviously bored and don't feel like cleaning the house).

I've heard that you carry your babies like your MIL (ie, similar type of pregnancies) and labour like your mother.

Its true in my case, I don't get morning sickness - my mum did with all 3 of us, and my MIL never got morning sickness in her 3 pregnancies.

My mum went overdue with all of us, except for me cos they were expecting her to go over so she was induced on my due date. I went 2 weeks over with DD1 and 12 days over with DD2.

She had short labours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 3 hours. My "first" real labouring experience with DD2 was about 4-5 hours in active labour (hard to know when "active" labour started).

My MIL on the other hand, went for days labouring with her first.

So - its true in my case. Anyone else?
