Give birth again?

  Faster delivery. Good news: On average, the mother gave birth for the second time just to 'wait' for eight hours before (finally) the child was born. Meanwhile, the mom who just gave birth for the first time have to be patient, because it took over 14 hours. Why? If you've never given birth, the cervix will be softer and more ready for the next delivery.
      Less likely to epidural anesthesia. For faster delivery and the tendency of the mother is more 'experienced' to suspend immediately go to the hospital could mean the loss of opportunities for epidural anesthesia - which is usually given when the cervix is opening 4 to 6. You want an epidural anesthetic? Let's just say, once you enter the hospital.

      Fewer complications. Just because you have experienced complications, such as breech presentation, does not mean the same thing will happen in the next delivery.
      Less likely to undergo episiotomy (incision to widen the birth canal, thus facilitating the process of childbirth through the vagina). Soft tissues of the vagina is already stretched at first childbirth, so it might be 'free' any incision on the next delivery.
      More pain after giving birth. After delivery, the contractions continued to help the uterus return to its original size. Because a woman's uterus is usually enlarged due to repeated childbirth, you will need the contraction is even more strongly to the end to its normal size.
