Does it get easier???
I know they say every pregnancy and labour is different but is there anyone who's had 3 children or more and found the labour got easier? i didn't have a great time with my first but the 2nd was a breeze and i'm praying this one will be to.xx

try not to worry too much, we all know that every labour and birth comes with risks attached and can be unpredictable but stay positive and focused and you will achieve your goal. don't listen to bad stories. you are in a very exciting position. good luck to you. take care.xx
I've had 8 and agree with you that each is unique. I don't know if the labours get easier or you are more aware of what to expect. I have been really lucky that all mine arrived naturally, either at home or hospital. I will admit to getting real jitters before every one of my labours though. I have mentioned to one other mum on one of these forums [can't remember which, old grey cells failing] that I found trying to keep my sense of humour really helped and most importantly having, like yourself, had a nightmare first labour.... remember its your labour so don't feel you can't dictate how you are treated/ spoken to, etc.

This time i'm just worried that the midwife wont get to me in time (hoping for a first home birth)- but hubby should know what to do by now i suppose!
How did you lot cope with them coming so quickly? I'm so scared i'll wake up in the night and go to the loo and the baby will just be there!
