I was exaggerating slightly, but I always thought first birth was the hardest, and then by the 4th its just "alright lets get this done". At least from every mother I've talked with they act like it, that by the third birthing is pretty easy
Quite a few friends had their longest labour with their first baby, but then again, quite a few had other complications with later pregnancies/births.
My first birth was definitely the hardest, in part because it was the first time I’d done it and no amount of reading up and antenatal classes really prepares you for dealing with that. Subsequent births were shorter, although the labour lengths varied. There’s a difference between labour and the actual pushing for the active, birth part of it all. My first active part of the birth was almost an hour, the next three weren’t even ten minutes. By my last baby it was just a couple of pushes and he was there. The labour was longer due to complications, though.
There’s a lot of bullshit around labour and birth, even now (and especially in social media spaces). Stuff like curating your labour and birth like a menu in a hotel, with water pools, a specific soundtrack, yoga poses and shit like that just gives women a completely false expectation of childbirth. The pain is hard to bear and no pain meds aside from anaesthetics really touch it. It can feel like forever when you’re in a lot of pain and you know no-one can stop it for you. Even if subsequent labours aren’t actually shorter or easier, they can feel that way because you know what’s coming, you know it ebbs and flows and you know you can bear it.
The idea of a tranny in labour is supremely tragilarious. It’d be the biggest disaster movie production the hospital will ever have seen. Multiple cameras and many, many demands that staff can’t fulfill. They’ll try to lie to themselves about just how feminine it all makes them, despite the fact that no woman finds squatting, screaming in pain whilst bleeding and pissing yourself in any way feminine, just a fucking horrible thing to get through.
Not only are trannies not built for it physically, they’re not built for it psychologically. The mother is focusing on bringing her baby into the world safely. She may fear for herself, but her baby is the biggest concern. The tranny couldn’t give a fuck about the baby, it’s just a meaningless accessory to their roleplay of womanhood. They’ll want to play act classic tv birth scenes until they can’t handle any more pain, then they’ll demand a cesarean even if it might not be best for the baby. They’ll then resent the baby every second of its life, for taking up the attention the tranny had previously gotten while pregnant and ‘special’. They have no fortitude for childbirth, as well as no body for it.
DDD'' when she saw a pair, but now it gonna remind me of that pooner, too.
