Was your short (4-6 hours) labor & delivery more painful than a longer labor?

Ki

I've now delivered 2 babies in what I was told was short labor. I was in labor and active with "painful" contractions for a total 4 hours and pushed through 2 contractions for one baby. The other I was in labor with "painful" contractions for 4 hours and pushed through 2 contractions. Identical VBAC's... now with my 4th...I am hoping for a similar experience but... i was told that the shorter the labor, the more intense and painful it is... is that true for you? What is your birth story if you birthed in less than 4-6 hours start to finish?
