My second was soooooo much better. My first was 27 hours in established labour, awful experience with an epidural. My second was 1hr 30 minutes from the first contraction to baby being born, with no pain relief. My third was 45 minutes from first contraction to end (with a paracetamol for pain relief lol). My fourth was an induction with a hard posterior cervix so went from 0cm to 6 cm in less than 2 hours when I needed a section, all of the subsequent labours were much better as I knew my body and felt much more in control.

Second labour was much shorter, first was 3 1/2 hours, second was 45 minutes.
Second labour was all natural as opposed to having everything aside from an epi in my first.
second labour was much more relaxed than first
oh and first labour waters broke before labour began, second labour waters broke as head was born

Great thread ... i m going to be watching this one. My first was not how i wanted it, ended up having epidural which made me not mobile for almost 20 hours and then i ended up with vacuum and epstiomy (spelling? lol). So i am a little bit anxious this time around but so determined not to have pain relief.

My first was 18 hours start to finish and my second was 2 hours from first contraction to birth i got to the hospital 38 mins before she was born my waters broke 8 mins before she was born and i was pushing for only 4 mins. My third was a different experience i was in slow labour for 48 hours before he was born and my waters didn't break and i was pushing for 2 hours.

My first was just over 7 hours and was incredibly hard, I spent over 2 hours trying to push him out but didnt get that "urge". I dont know if this was because of the pethidine or not though.

My second was just about 2 hours and much easier, despite my little girlie coming out upside down! She flew out with a couple of pushes. I only used gas and air that time. And really felt the urge.

My third, bless her, was 35 mins from first contraction to her being born, between the ambulance pulling up at the hospital and her being born was only 6 mins !! Not very comfortable being moved from an ambulance trolley to a hospital bed whilst crowning I can tell you!! I barely even had time for gas and air. (mind you, she was 15 days late and due to be induced the following day)

The very fact that my labours have got so much quicker and easier is the main reason I'm not having a 4th baby lol.
