very good thread cos women are always asking how to have a fast painfree labour.
my first child came in 30 mins and the head came out in one push! my second child came in 20 mins and my 3rd came in 10 mins.
my labours were super fast and i was laughing through each them. the pains felt like very strong period pains and cramps. i was very lucky though as i never experienced the normal pregnancy pains.
i started exercising months before each pregnancy preparing my body. i used to walk about an hour every single day throughout pregnancy. i did all the housework myself and i never sat down for a break. always keeping myself active as i knew this was the secret to a fast labour. i was gardening, cooking, hovering etc.
as a doctor this is the best advice i can give. walk walk and walk.
my labours were so fast that i had all my babies at home in my bedroom because i never had time to go to hospital. when my 2nd baby was coming i knew i would give birth at home as i could feel baby pushing down and coming out. i started to put lots of towels on the bed and my husband was telling me to go to hospital and pulling me and i was laughing through contractions saying we don't have time! hehehehe
walk one hour every day.
Didn't you say you had twins?
Also, how can you have contractions for 10 minutes and then bam, baby's out.
