labor the 3rd time?

[aishj84]

this mite seem silly but everyone i know who has 3 or more children and i mean everyone had a hard labor for their 3rd either as hard or harder than the 1st , as im pregnant wif my 3rd im wondering if this is a coinsidence or there is some patern here so just wondering for u ladies who hve had 3 or more bubs wat was ur 3rd labor like?

This is my 5th. Labor and delivery with my 3rd was easier than the first 2. I had some complications after but those were due to complications during pregnancy. I only labored for 6 hours and only pushed 4 times. So it is possible that this one could be easier for you.

I agree with shastas84! This us my 4th baby and my 3rd was just as easy as my first. Only labored for 6 hours and pushed for about 30 minutes if that. So its possible :) congratulations and I hope everything goes smooth and easy for you too :)

My third wasnt quite as hard as my first, but close, and way harder then my second one.  It was a long drawn out labor where my contractions never wanted to get regular, but they were strong and doing what they were supposed to.  Labored for 18 hours.  Was so exhausted.  Took 17 1/2 just to reach 5 cm, then they broke my waters and she was in my arms 20 min later.  But the pain of going from 5 to 10 so quick was excrutiating!  I think its really just that every labor is different.  You could have a really easy one, or a hard one.

I m on #5 too and they have all gotten a little easier, but I've also gotten more patience since the first. My labors have all been kind of the same, slow moving. With the first I felt like I was in the hospital forever before she was born. So now I just chill out until its really bad before even going in.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and for sure it would be my last one! My first 2 pregnancies I felt them easier . Not much of morning sick ness, and not that many body aches. The only think tgst i would complain about were my swollen feet. Labor for the first one was only 6 hours. For my second I was induced and labor was long. Now for this pregnabcy it's a different story.  Since the begging of the pregnancy I had so much morning sickness. I couldnt even keep water down. Docters were talking about putting a feeding tube in. Im 36 weeks and corrently have body sches all over. My hips feel like they are about to break. The only think I cannot complain about is swelling.  My feet dont swell at all. Hopefully ill get a easy labor!

I will say this, with my third the after birth pains were the worst! They were just as bad as the actual contractions, I didn't have that with my other two and I'm terrified to deal with it with this one..

[Sarah765]

Oh yeah the uterine cramping especially while breastfeeding was bad like 4thonecoming said, it supposudly gets worse each time which has been true for me, not looking forward to it!
