“Precipitous Labor” with first?

Joslynn

Does anyone have a history of “precipitous labor” or labor/delivery under 3 hours?

From the first contraction to birth with my first child was just under two hours. Every doctor and midwife has said they are on high alert for us (with one saying I won’t deliver that fast again) - though mine was the fastest, all women in my family have had precipitous labors so we’re not counting on that one!

We now live further from the hospital, & are due in the middle of a Maine winter! I’m handling fine, but my husband is convinced we’ll be at home or on the highway when this little one arrives. Anyone with any tips & tricks or similar experiences?
