[Submitted Question]

My cousin told me that childbirth is faster and less painful if you are still quite young. I, however, am already 34. Does that mean I can expect a long and difficult labor?

Is your cousin an obstetrician? If not, it’s probably fairly safe to ignore his or her “wisdom” on a lot of pregnancy matters. Every woman is built differently. Every pregnancy is different and every labor/delivery is different. Some women have horrible pregnancies, others actually like being pregnant (me!). None of this is linked to age. Now, I still think it’s a good idea to take care of yourself and be in relatively good shape when you give birth but as far as the physical work of labor? Age ain’t nothin’ but a number. (The young ‘uns may bounce back a little quicker after the fact – but I don’t see how age has any bearing on labor itself.)
