One good thing though, probably 85% of "second timers" have faster labors. We always hustled those girls through the admit process faster!

That's true!! This one is WAY different from my first. With my son I didn't change at all during the 1st trimester. I still had the same eating habits, same energy levels, no moodiness, not a thing!! It stayed that way all the way through, granted the stretching was uncomfortable then too but that was obvious since it was my first. This one has been crazy from the beginning!!! Granted I didn't have it as bad as some women get with the morning sickness, but I wasn't used to it. Oh, and I was MOODY!!! YIKES!! My hubby was gone the last 4 months of my first pregnancy, so it will be weird having him here for this one and seeing me in my full blown glory.
Yeah, before my emergency c-sect I actually went into the ER around 1:30 and had reached my 9 cm before 6. Then they noticed every contraction stressed the baby and only noticed since I had gotten stuck at 9. Then off we went! Found out he had the umbilical cord tied around his ankle, over and around the shoulder, and then his neck.
I don't know what he was doing in there.
