Does your second labor go smoother than the first?

Question

I know every labor is different but I was curious if your second labor was better than your first? Currently pregnant with baby number 2 and I swear I’m having PTSD thinking about labor 😂😂😂. My first one was awful experience all the way around

Answer

mu forst one was at 39+1. from first contraction to delivery was 11 hours.  pushed for 1.5 hours. baby was 8lbs 2oz no medication. my second was at 39+4 from water breaking to delivery was 7 hours. contractions started an hour after water breaking. pushed for 10 minutes.  no medication and baby 9lbs 10oz.

Answer

my first one was induced so yea a lot better. I was up walking around with minimum pain with my second labor was 5hrs 2 pushes she was out.

Answer

So much easier. My first baby was sunny-side up so I was in labor for 40 hours and pushed for 4 hours, and I had horrible, excruciating back labor. Second baby was in labor for 16 hours and pushed for 35 minutes, no back labor so the contractions were so much more manageable this time.

Answer

my 1st was 39 hours of pure hell... 2nd was a breeze, 5 hours (still extremely painful but he came out like a freight train 😂) he was also bigger than my first.

Answer

I have the same fear! My first was a 23 hour labor and 2 hours of pushing, ended up having vacuum assist and a third degree tear. I am so afraid of the second experience.

Answer

Both were long but the both births were super easy! No tearing and only pushed a few time for like 15 minutes.
