Isn't that odd?  My first son was my smallest and my biggest headache,
longest labor, etc.  My second and third were bigger 8#5oz. 8#4oz. and were
a breeze to push out.  The last baby went from 8cm to birth within 5
minutes.  Literally two pushes.  The last two were also the best nursers
after birth, although the absence of pain meds had a lot to do with it.

Is there any info on bfing and precipitous labor?  I would guess that some
of these babies would be tired after such a fast entrance.  And with
precipitous labor we are talking 3 hours or less right?  My 4 hour labor was
fast but not the wahm bamm stuff I hear moms talk about.
