Super thread, very informative however everyone is so different grrr!!! My first labour was easy, I went in at 8.45am 4cm dilated and she was born at 12.55pm, labour started at about 12am but wasn't painful at all, survived it only on G&A. Requested homebirth this time and hope its either as easy or easier than the first, either is good with me

my first labour was a very long drawn out process, recorded from my second trip into hospital at 13hrs45min but they had confirmed i was in labour at my first trip so from that mark it makes it 50+ hours of labour 2 hrs of pushing and ventouse delivery with episiotomy,
so its understandable that i want this one to go a bit quicker, but im 4 days off my due date with no signs whatever appart from slight effacement pains a couple of times a day and the odd BH but nothing strong or crampy and im starting to get down

I hope I am like most ladies and have an easier 2nd labour. My first to be fair was not that bad was induced in the end due to waters breaking and being lazy and not contracting!! Actual labour was about 4 hours and hardly any pain relief was amazed and in awe that my body just seemed to know what to do! Heres to happy labours xx

Thanks to all who have replied, I think overall it does seem that second labours are faster and sometimes easier than first labours. My first was only 4 hours so I probably shouldn't hang around this time!

And as Karenmack rightly said, heres to happy labours!

My first i was induced at 37 weeks after my waters breking, labour was 7 hours in total, this time i got to 39+6, my contractions started at 5pm and i had him at 9:25pm, i got to hospital at 9:17pm so in my notes my diagnosed labour was 12mins with delivering the placenter too! Definately quicker! I'm demanding to be admitted to hospital on the first contraction if we have a third, i think i'm licky to have very wuick labours!
Also lottie was 5lb13, ventouse delivery, episiotomy and stiches- Harry was 7lb7, natural delivery, no tear/stiches etc!
