> I'm 35 and have spent less than eight hours of my life in labour (I have three kids). So no one would bother to put my easy, not-very-painful story on TV!
Mine either! Only have one, but I can relate. From admission into the hospital to actual time of birth was 3 hours and 2 minutes! And I went to work that morning, and to a regular checkup at about 8:30 am, where a nurse-midwife said, "oh yeah, you'll have this baby today...see you later." Worked until 1100 am, my hubby and I went back to the hospital 'cause pains were worse...they said they were "full" and to come back when you can't stand up straight. So, we walked for a while, then went back. It really was quick and not so awful. (But I did have some drugs)
I think I was built for it - yeah, it hurt, but kidney stones a few years later were MUCH worse!
