Of course I have not given birth yet, but from what I gather is that if you have to many doctors and too many interruptions, it takes longer and hurts more. If you just go with it it hurts less and is over faster.
But again, this is just what I heard here and there online, I have no experience yet. |
That's really a case-by-case thing. My mother in law tried to have 2 natural homebirths (which is standard in the Netherlands), both times she laboured for over 48 hours before being transferred to the hospital.
