How long was your labor with your second birth?

Question

This is a question for all the second time moms. How long was your labor with your second birth?
I was induced with my first and labored for 6 hours. I was already 4 cm dialated so they started pitocin right away at 7 am. At 9 am they broke my water and at 2:54 pm my daughter was born. 
Because my first birth was medically induced will my second labor be longer or just as fast? I always heard the second baby comes faster than the first.

Answer

So my first was almost a week late. They ended up giving me pitocin when I was at the hospital because I had been too long with my waters ruptured. Total was like 26.5 hours. 
With my second, I felt contraction very faint for most of the day, I was a few days away from the due date. So I just thought it was Braxton Hicks. I had been checked that morning and was like 4cm. I labored at home from about 9pm(just felt slight pressure) to about 12 midnight(very painful). I waited until the contractions were very painful to go to the hospital because of how scared I was from laboring at the hospital the first time. I arrived at 12am and was admitted and they gave me one bag of IV fluids. At that point I was about 8.5cm. No time for an epidural. My doctor/midwife ruptured my waters at this point and I pushed maybe 4 times and she was out. She was born at around 2:30am. 
So short answer, yes my second childbirth experience was MUCH faster than the first.

Answer

About 26 hours. Only 5 were active labor.

Answer

1st-started pitocon at 3pm. Water broke 9pm--hard labor started. Complete and pushing at midnight. Baby at 1:48am. 
2nd-in early labor all day long, finally called midwife around 5pm, 5cm dilated. Came into hospital, contractions like 5 minutes apart. Broke my water at 1030pm, baby at 1108pm.

Answer

My first labor was looong. About 24 hours from water breaking to babys birth and I had already been contracting mildly for several hours before water breaking too. About 18 hours of active labor 😫 Second baby was about 9 hours of painful contractions until delivery. Only about 5 hours of active labor. Both of my labors started naturally - both 42 week pregnancies though!

My second labor was 1 hour 45 minutes, which was a bit shorter than my first. I wasn’t induced with either though.
