Has it anything to do with the "third time Lucky" theory?

[ozmidwifery] Third time labours
Just to add more to the confusion, my own third baby was my best
birth. The first was a forceps lift out, she was OP and sunny side up, my
third was a vaginal breech and 25 yrs ago the ob who "lifted her out" used
"piper forceps to ach" which I was told meant to guide the head out
slowly. Then my third baby with midwives at an alternative birthing center
in Chicago (22yrs ago) was completely natural, spontaneous unassisted
vaginal birth, intact peri, with my other 2 daughters and my parents
present as well as husband. Later, concerned that I may continue to
multiply my mother, a retired aussie midwife advised me that the 3rd
birth is the "wild card" and that I shouldn't think each birth would be
just as easy from here on. So, I guess the stories about 3rd births have a
long history, I do wonder if the stats back them up.

Well you just totally quashed my desire for another child -
already rather worried because of my last two disaster stories,
I had this little bit of hope in me as my sister's all had
very easy 3rd births - best pregnancy and birth for all three
of them and they said that the third was better than the fourth
and all gave me some hope that maybe if I did try again it would
not be so bad. Now I am even more confused as maybe the
third is not always the best after all.
Hmm.
So I would be interested if there are any studies.
