⚠️FTM avoid… Labour

Any second time / multiple mums even more scared of Labour this time round?

I had an awful experience with my sons birth (42 week induction, 4 days long, episiotomy etc)

I am even more scared this time round because of how bad my first was..

Anyone the same or just me?

When I became pregnant with my second, it drove me in to taking more control of my choices and doing a lot more research. I was a rabbit in headlights in my first birth, but in my second I read books, did courses and listened to podcasts etc. Being more informed made me so much more confident and decisive. The book ‘Hypnobirthing: practical ways to make your birth better’ is really good!

I'm really scared too. My labour was short (5.5 hours) with my first but I was begging for pain relief and they never gave me anything for 5 hours except gas and air it was horrific
