Crap pregnancy = Easier Birth?

Neecee · Nov 4th, 2008, 07:36 AM

And vice versa. What are the chances of it, eh? My hubby said to me that I deserve a quick, hassle-free labour seeing as I've been suffering from day 1, but what are the chances of that happening!

And to top it all off, I've just found out that one of my colleagues was meant to go on mat leave last friday, but got home from work on thursday evening and had the baby by 11:30pm the same night! She even had him 4 weeks early and he still weighed in at 7lbs!!!! How lucky is she!!! And she's had NO pregnancy symptoms or niggles at all! Lucky cow!

Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt it. Sounds like another silly old wives tale to me.

i had morning sickness through out my pregnancy and was in and out of hospital a lot, i wont go into details but my 40hour labour ended in c-section

however i no have a wonderful wonderful daughter who is a complete darling and i love very much, however your pregnancy and birth is, i promise its all worth it

I think it mite be another old wives tale, but wiv my 1st my pregnancy was so boring. Everything went well till labour n it all went tits up. A 3 day labour she was 10lb i needed 15 stitches cos she tore me in half and after i had her i heaomaregged(sp) had to have a catheter in for 4 wks it was horrid.

But the 2nd was a hard pregnancy and a piss easy labour. No stiches, pain was minimal.

But once they are born, you forget it all.

HTH.

I dont think its true either.
The best way to go about it is to prepare your self very well for the labour and birth, be ready for whatever might come your way then its not a shock and you can handle it to the best of your ability at the time.

i'm sure by the time labour comes... it'll see easy compared to the 9 months of pregnancy!

here's hoping you do have a very easy birth!!!
