Question

and?

Answer
Hi there,

There really is no way for me to answer this question definatively.  My experience has been that each birth is different and unique.  Your experience of the pain of labor is in large part influenced by how much you educate yourself about the process of labor, what is happening in your body, and by how comfortable you feel with the people who are going to help you have your baby.  

So in that context, I would recommend that you find a healthcare provider that you feel comfortable with and will give you the kind of supportive care that would be most beneficial to you.  

I hope all goes well with you.  Be healthy, eat good food and take your vitamins! :)
