How long was your second labor?

Question

Answer

Every labor is different and the second one isn't necessarily going to be shorter than the first. My first kid, 4 hours of labor. My second kid, 16 hours of labor. My third kid, 11 hours of labor. I'm due any day now with baby # 4 and hopefully she's somewhere in between the three lol

Answer

My first was 3.5 hours active labour and my second was 1 hour and 52min

Answer

My first was a nightmare, it was knits 10hrs and induced at 41 weeks. They gave me epidural because they said I was runnin out of energy and also I took too much gas an air so felt really dizzy and light headed. Hated everything even the epidural coz I felt it made my labour longer.

My second again had to b induced at 40wks and labour from start to finish took about 5hrs or less. With full induction drugs being pumped in my body I swore to myself I would never take the epidural or the gas an air even tho everyone begged me to. So I took 2 cocodamol paracemol and said either I die in this preg ir I live but my first pregnancy experience I don't want to repeat. Thankfully it felt like a period and enjoyed my experience in my second pregnancy.

My third pregnancy was intense but extremely fast again induced at 42 wks not full induction just the first stage and it worked labour from start to finish and baby out took max 2hrs again i made sure I didn't take any drugs except my trusted paracetamol. Till this day and with all pregnancies I still have nightmares of my first pregnancy I had a bad experience even tho it wasn't so bad to others it felt bad to me

So I think although each baby is different ur body is already been stretched and labour gets quicker that's how I felt in mine.  But now Iam pregnant with twins and I don't kno wat to expect. All the best

Answer

My first labor was 7 hours total..he was 7lb 6oz. my second was 11 hours total..BUT he was 9lbs 8oz. Third labor was quick..because I stayed at home not realizing how progressed I was..so maybe 5 hours (8lbs 10 oz)  ..Fourth labor was induced..(should of never been , no medical reason) and was 18 hours..(8 lbs 12 oz) So If I don't have to be induced I'm hoping for a fast easy labor and about a 8-9 lb boy! since I didn't eat like a maniac and gain a bunch of weight..I "assume"..he will be under 9 lbs. But seriously I assumed my second labor was gonna be faster, not longer..but he was more than 2 pounds bigger..I think that played a big part!

Answer

23 minutes from first contraction to her been here 😂😂😂 very painful

Answer

First labor water broke at 38 weeks 2 days when I was at work at 3:30pm and baby came at 7:57pm with no meds and no epidural. She was 7 lbs 10 oz. So 4.5 hrs. 
Second labor water broke at 38 weeks 2 days at noon and baby came at 2:38pm with no meds and no epidural. She was 8 lbs. So 2.5 hrs. Both times I never had a single Braxton hicks contraction or contraction until 2 hrs before delivery with #1 and 1 hr before delivery with #2. 
I am pregnant with baby #3 and I'm honestly worried about giving birth in my car. Hospital is 30 mins away and I feel like with no contractions as warnings and super fast labor this might get crazy.

Answer

first labor 9 hours, second labor just under 2 hours, hoping this time goes even faster!!

Answer

I meant to hit less than 5 hours, oops. I was induced, but my labor lasted 4 hours and I pushed 3 times in a span of 15 min.
