Answer

Mine was scheduled c-section but he came out 8 days earlier and was so fast

Answer

Second labor I was induced due to developing preeclampsia (in third trimester) I was 38wks, epidural and I prefer hospital birth rather than at home it's not for me. Labor was a little over 3hrs from start to finish. My first was induced, epidural and another pain med (made me feel drunk and didn't last long, can't rem the name of it)

Answer

Second was definitely the same amount of pain, but I have pitocin during labor which I’ve heard makes it more intense overall. 
My first labor was active labor for about 6.5 hours (including about 40 minutes of pushing). My water broke early at 37w6d and I had her 18 hours after it ruptured, I didn’t progress without the pit at all. 
My second was induced at 40w5d only 4 hours of labor and 4 pushes. She basically flew out of me 😂 I felt a LOT more pressure with my second though.

Answer

First was 18 hours. Second was 12 hours but only because they were dicking around and wanted me to finish my second antibiotics. I wanted to push around 10 hours..
It was more painful the second time than the first. Definitely. Contractions were much worst if I was standing still.
