I didn't know. I have no idea what is normal or typical. I was always at home when I was in labor, and my water - obligingly- always broke at the hospital, about 5 minutes before the baby arrived... FAST labors for me. But my midwife said I was an unusually good laborer- perhaps even elite! She wanted to film me for her patients, but I said no. I'm just not ready to be famous in quite that way. My midwife was deeply disappointed. I guess she thought the fact that I never screamed and had about 10 minutes in the hospital before the baby would reassure her other patients- but from what I've heard my children's births were not typical. I sure hope my daughters have as easy a time. My birth mom had a very easy birth with me- and I was her first (and only). I would NEVER have gone on an airplane. I would have had airplane babies.
