Hmm I wished I took after mum. Well in some ways. Apart from her first labour, mum apparently has no labour pains. The only way she knows she is in labour is by the hardneing and softening of her stomach !!

Her first labour 36 hours, ended with epidural and forceps
2nd (me) 15 minutes
3rd 15 minutes
4th too fast - they stopped the lift to deliver him, but the cord was pulling him back, ended up emer c section.

My first 2 1/2 hours
Second nearly 2 hours
Third - c section
Forth - 10 hours
Number 5 better go back to being a nice quick labour for me.
