I'm 38w w baby #2. First birth was traumatic w a membrane sweep, 3 days of labor, epidural, tearing, and baby rushed to NICU w fluid in her lungs.

This time around I have changed from an ob to a midwife, changed hospitals, hired a doula, and took a 5 week in person hypnobirthing class. I'm hopeful to have a better and drug free labor with this baby.

Any non FTMs have positive stories to share? I know every Labor is different but I'd love to hear from those with positive subsequent pregnancies - shorter, less painful, able to go without meds, anything!

Trying to fill my head with everything positive that I can.

Thank you for sharing your positive stories -- I hope to pay it forward.
