If you’ve already had more then 2 babies, would you say your labors after your first were faster or any easier?

Question

Just curious! I have a one year old and had a pretty great first delivery. I was in active labor for 8 hours and pushed for 20 minutes. I did it naturally without pitocin or an epidural. Curious is most moms have a faster labor with their second or third. Expecting our second in March.

Answer

I was always taught in school you progress fast after your first but it probably just depends on your body and specific pregnancy!

Answer

My labors were about the same time wise, but the second was much, much easier for me. Could have been because I knew what to expect and was able to prepare more (I did hypnobabies and it was amazing for me)
Pushing took 30 minutes with my first and like three pushes with my second. :)

Answer

27 hours with my first. With my 2nd my water broke and labor was 9 hrs. Much easier for me the 2nd time.

Answer

Good golly I hope the answer is yes! 18 hour labor with my first! Really hoping for at least half that!

Answer

I don’t think the number of pregnancies makes a difference. Both my 1st and 2nd labors were 3 hours from start to finish and I pushed for like 5 minutes.
