I'm Nervous About Labor
Filed under: Dawnn's News
My husband and I just got back from our trip to Cancun, aka our "babymoon". It was great to have some couple time before our new baby arrives and our family expands to having three kids around the house! I'm glad we went away during my second trimester of pregnancy - I'm not too big yet and can still move around, but I'm over that dreadful morning sickness stage (wow, it was so bad this year!). That said, it was TOO HOT in Cancun!
Now that we're back, and I'm coming up on my third trimester, I've begun getting nervous about labour. Again. I know this is not my first time, but I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse! I had my son, Gabe, after 6 hours of labour and my daughter, Kenya, after 4 hours. Both babies were born on their due dates and both weighed in at 7lb 6oz. Pretty unusual, don't you think? I'm quite a petite woman (4ft 11" and about 100lbs), so I'm hoping that this baby is not going to be larger, as they often are in subsequent births.
How were your experiences in labour for your subsequent babies?

My 1st baby, 11 days early, 8lbs 6oz (water broke naturally). My 2nd baby 14 days early (induced due to preeclampsia), 9lbs 2oz. 3rd baby, 1 week late and weighed 7lb 14oz. All boys too, btw.
