how was your 2nd labor& delivery different from your first?

Question

did you mama's go past 40wks with your 2nd? and did you have your baby earlier than you did your first? I'm currently 34w1d and hoping I don't go to 41wks like I did with my first.

Answer

I had both my babies on my due date. My second was induced. After my first, we learned I have big babies so that’s why I was induced the second time. 
First baby, I was in labor for 15 hours, got an epidural, pushed for 45 minutes, and he  was born. 
Second baby, I was induced, labored for 3 hours, pushed for 17 minutes. No time for epidural, he came fast! Lol.

Answer

My first at 37 weeks 2 days my second at 36 weeks 1 day. Both came on their own similar labours except my water broke the first time and not the second. My second delivery was a bit more painful pushing but recovery is better as no episiotomy.

Answer

My first was born at 37 weeks, my water broke on its own and was in labor for almost 24 hours
My second I was induced at 40 weeks and labor (from the time I got there to delivery) only lasted 5 hours

Answer

My first was born 36 weeks my second at 34 weeks. My first I pushed for 4 1/2 hours in labor over 24 hours, my second I pushed 4 times and she was out lol. It went by fast and not nearly as painful. My first was 10 lbs and my second was 8.5 lbs. It’s every bit as magical as the first. Congratulations!

Answer

My first was born at 41 weeks, I’m currently pregnant at 40+3 with #2 and no signs of labor 😭 I was hoping this one would come sooner but I guess not.

Answer

I went to 41 weeks with both.
My first was 8lbs 12oz, second degree tear, at least 3-4 weeks recovery. Needed a vacuum and to have him pushed from the top of my uterus as I pushed him out. He almost got stuck and it was kind of traumatic. Labor was slightly less than 12 hours.
Second (he’ll be 3 weeks old tomorrow) was 9lbs 8oz, minimal second degree tear, recovery was like a week. 4.5 hour labor from start of pitocin. Pushed 5 rounds and no assistance needed. So much easier and no complications. I felt really in control and knew exactly what was happening.

Answer

My first baby she came on her due date exactly at 40 weeks. Without being induced and had her vaginaly . She weighed 7lbs 11oz.
My second baby I got induced at 38 weeks due to complications tried to push for vaginal birth but he was to big and I needed an emergency c-section. He weighed 8lbs 14oz.
