I think labour with 2nd 3rd kids etc is just as painful, but at least you know what it is going to be like. No-one can prepare you for the pain you will experience with your first!!
I remember when I was about 4 month pregnant with my second, one day I was sat on the bed thinking about having him, and I cried...... I cried because it hit me like a ton of bricks just how painful my first was!! But actually I enjoyed the birth of my second, mainly because I felt in control!!

I was so looking forward to my second, cause I thought it was going to be a natural birth. Was both angry and disappointed when I had to have the c-section cause I had to be asleep again! Both of mine were in neo-natal unit so it was weird cause everyone else had a baby with them and I didn't. I suppose I shouldn't moan cause they were both ok, it is just that you don't experience that bonding in the same way!
