My cousin just had her baby last night. Her water broke (at home) at 10:30. When she got to the hospital she was 8cm and DD was born at 12:30! Holy shitballs that's terrifying!
Am I missing the part where a fast labour is a bad thing?
(I legitimately don't know shit).
Fast would be good as long as I make it to the hospital in time to get the drugs.
But I suspect there may be evidence for the tearing theory, because my aunt said my cousin was in a lot of pain afterwards. (You know, I used to be afraid of the pooping. Then I heard about the tearing. I would gladly poop all over everything if it would keep me from RIPPING OPEN MY VAGINA!!)
Re: Holy Crap
Whoa!
Wait, do we have the same cousin? She has 3 kids and I swear had like, 5 minute labors with all of them.

TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
I'm scared this is going to happen to me. My 2nd was born after just under 3 hours of labor. I had no drugs...no time.
But...that's really fast!
With my first I was 8cm when we got to the hospital....but I pushed 3 hours....

I know someone who "gave birth so fast" that her "bladder fell right out onto the table". Kind of freaked me out to hear that story.
