I'm Currently Feeling: | Easy pregnancy, difficult labour? Anyone believe this is how it works?
As far as pregnancies go I've had it pretty easy. No morning sickness, no stretchmarks on my bump (got a thousand on my boobs and hips), had 2 BH in second tri, no leaky nipples, nice small bump, have a urine infection but with no nasty symptoms, BP has always been fine, bubs not had any major problems except she stopped growing for a while. Apart from carrying round a kick boxer I've been pretty lucky.
So now I'm thinking karma is going to come and bite me on the ass and give me the worse labour EVER.  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ok for your sake I hope not! I've never heard of it working this way....and I hope it doesn't. I've had terrible morning sickness, been hospitalized once already, and can barely eat some days. I doubt I'll have a happy, comfy delivery : ) Maybe your baby maker is just friendly ahahahah : )))) and the birth will be nice and short! Good luck to you and let us know what happens! |

| bexy are you due today? How exciting for you. I don't think many people can compare their first labour to a day out at Chessington but I'm sure you will be fine. Looking at your bump pic your not overweight which I think can add to a labor sometimes and your young which helps. So really apart from bubs being a bit overdue you should sail through lol. I must say that your bump looks a good size so don't be surprised if your close to 8lb judging by your pic. | | | | Status: Offline

I said the same thing to my DH yesterday! I´ve been so lucky up to now and had no probs or major aches and pains. I told him when it finally happens and the contractions start I think I´ll get the shock of my life!!
Fingers crossed that your labour goes as smoothly as your pregnancy has! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I hope I am not jinxing myself  but as far as pregnancies go I'd say I had an easy one with my first. My labor was pretty easy too - especially for the first time. Checked into the hospital at about 6pm and dilated to 3cm. Got the epi around 7:30. Started pushing at 9:30 and had him at 10:32pm. I didn't think it was so bad for a first delivery. No complications, relatively short labor, etc.
SO...I don't think it necessarily means that you are going to have a horrible delivery.  Good Luck!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think your labour can be connected to how stressful or stress free your pregnancy was
When my mum was prego with me she didn't tell anyone till 2 weeks before I was due so she was under constant stress. The result - 72 hour labour, botched epidural, last minute turning by moi & 63 stitches
When prego with our Kevin she was in a stable happy relationship, nice new flat & financially secure. The result - 12 hour labour & 2 stitches. No need for epidural or anything
When prego with Lewis my mum was in a violent relationship & was very depressed. The result - emergency caesarean!!
So as you can see I truely believe your circumstances can affect it so im dreading it. Ive had alot of hard times during my pregnancy so am thinking im in for a hard labour  |
