For those with more than 1 child

#1... she was 10 days overdue, 8 hours all up, but I had surgery afterwards due to a bad tear & lost 2L of blood thanks to her trying to fly out like superman!!

#2... she was 2 days early, 2 hours all up, which resulted in a unexpectant home birth, but was a much easier birth with her, only the contractions afterwards were more painful.

My first was a very long hard labour - 42 1/2 hours later (2 and half hours pushing) 9lb 50z baby - ripped from one hole to the other! On time

Second was easy (probably didnt say that at the time) 4 hour labour and only half an hour I would say was really bad - 2 pushes and she was out - no stitches - 8lb 6oz. 5 days over
(and have to agree the uterus contracting afterwards was much sorer - never noticed it the first time)

Third child was a elective ceasar as breeched so brought out a week early - 9lb 4oz

fourth was 3 weeks early - waters broke but labour never really started - even when indued - emergency ceasar - 6lb 4oz

There will be no fifth so that is all I can tell you
