Well, as the title says I'm on number 2 and am slightly concerned about labour and birth this time...
My labour with Cesca was pretty quick, but awful.
I started having contractions at 3ish on the Wednesday afternoon, reached 4cms at around 11 Thursday morning and Francesca was born at 1:36 Thursday afternoon...
However, I had a back to back labour with NO break between contractions once I got to 2cms My contractions literally moved from the front to the back and back again for hours... It was awful!
I found giving birth itself a very thrilling experience and actually quite enjoyed it
But... I suffered a third degree starburst tear with 1400ml blood loss and spent 4 1/2 hours under general anaesthetic being stitched back up.
From your experience, or generally hearing about the 2nd time around... Do you think I'm going to have such a rotten time of it this time?
I'm also concerned about my tear from Cesca reopening as it will only be 19months since I gave birth first time round, and I still now get the odd pain from my tear :/
Opinions? Xx
