Labor easier with second?

Question

I'm currently pregnant with my second baby, and it's a boy! Im due March 24th, and I can't seem to get one question off of my mind.. Is labor easier with the second baby?

I had a smooth, easy labor with my daughter, and I didn't know if what I was hearing was false or not!

Answer

2nd labours are usually shorter eapeccially pushing time. How hard or easy the actual pabour is dependa on babies position and how fast or slow its all going etc but it should be shorter. My first labour was 6 hours my 2nd labour still had 50 mibutes of pushing but total with labour it was only 3 hours and i did it med free and it was very straight forward other than her bad positioning which pegnthened puahing time

Answer

I hope it's shorter. My natural birth with my daughter was forever and then pushing for an hour and a half. Went into labor Friday night with regular contractions about 10 minutes apart that I couldn't sleep much through, but "active" labor at 4 cm wasn't until 9 or 10 am that next morning and didn't have her until Sunday at 8 am. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 two nights of no sleep. Surely this next one will be easier, but if not I know I can do it! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Answer

I know it goes quicker but I'm not sure about the easier. Women in my family tend to go medication free so it all hurts like a 🙊 lol

Answer

I heard that too and I hope it's true. They say 2nd babies come earlier as well but I knew this lady who was due with her 2nd 3 days before I was due with #1. I had him on her due date and she had her son a couple of days after mine 🙊
