Third pregnancy. ...labour pain worse???

I am pregnant with my third baby. My first labour was so painful, I ended up having an epidural after a very long labour. My second was a breeze,  I had a water birth with just gas and air. Every body I have spoken too with 3 or more are scaring the life out of me, telling me the the labour is by far the most painful! Anybody out there with a better story? Or is the third something to really fear??

My doctor says that the third one mirrors the second pregnancy and the first is always hardest. Im on my third as well, by this time our bodys know what to do

My mom's 3rd was her worst. Now I'm a little worried because I'm on #3.

No guarantees all labors are different - do you very well could have an easy labor. What's usually more painful in multiple pregnancies is the after birth pains...it takes more for your uterus to go back down. But don't be afraid, it's going to be OK, pain doesn't last forever!

My bff just had her 3rd a week ago and it was her worst. I'm on my 3rd now I'm nervous. My second was painful, but first was painless.
