Everyone says the third baby is the wild card when it comes to labor. My due date with my third is tomorrow and I just wanna hear labor stories and comparisons between baby #3 and your first two.

I know nothing about pregnancy and labor is going to be the same for anyone but I’m getting anxious for labor with my third and kinda wanna know what I’m in for 😅

Everyone on staff at my health care office told me I was going to have my baby early! 😭 I believed them. I shouldn’t have. I convinced myself baby was going to be early and that it would be my best labor. With my first I had back labor, the pain was unbelievable. My second labor was a breeze compared to my first and it was like OHHH, this is why some women say labor isn’t that bad. So I fully expected my third to be the best yet.
Third labor was long and hard, she was born 12 hours before my due date. My baby didn’t transition well and ended up in the nicu for a week. Hardest week of my entire life.

That being said I know many women have wonderful third labors and I hope yours goes smoothly! 🫶

I only have 1 babe, but my mom had 4 and her second and 3rd were the hardest. Her 3rd my little brother was breech and she had a really long labor and pushed the longest with him.

First tried to come early and ended up getting meds to help speed up labor I got an epidural tho so I slept all night and pushed her out in the morning was a quick and easy birth.
Second came late ended up getting induced because I had hypertension my worst labor. Got the induction mid day epidural at 8cm and had her that night.
Third came naturally early I knew it was coming so told my husband to get sleep I slept for a bit until my contractions kept me up and got into the shower I labored at home until about 7am and went in to the hospital had her mid day. By far my easiest and best labor and I didn’t get meds until 10cm lol
All mine have been the same tho about half a day laboring but #3 was the best overall labor I had my body did its thing!

First was an induction-had the epidural and it was terrible
Second was faster naturally but way worse (big head)
3rd was a breeze and i say its cause the second blew a hole so big.

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
