My first birth was long...looooong and painful, very painful, but a normal birth. My second birth (little girl) was very different. I was in active labor and my doctor told me that she was face up, or Sunnyside Up. At first it freaked me out but he told me not to worry. Apparently pushing would not do any good if she's face up so I needed to lay on my side in a fetal position until she moved into position. So after me relaxing and laying on my side for a few hours she moved down and it took three pushes for her to arrive. Talk about totally different. She actually made it easier for me. Gave me a good scare but made my labor quite pleasant. LOL Interesting to see how this time will go.
