Third time's the charm?
I don't know if that's what the question implied, that perhaps the third time around things are more likely to be faster, easier, and better all around. For me I was certainly hopeful after hearing a few friends' stories of their quick 3rd-baby deliveries. But my third came slowly, just as my other two had. I was stronger through the contractions, and more laid back about the birth as it approached, so those aspects improved. But my third birth actually was more difficult than my second - and I was disappointed in my dreams of a 3 hour quick labor.
As for size:
first: 9.7lbs
second: 7.13lbs
third: 7.11lbs
If baby #4 should choose to come my way I am hoping to go into the pregnancy expecting a long labor instead of a short one!
