Did your babies come faster?

Question

I know everyone is different, but generally speaking, does your second baby really come faster than your first?
My first labor started around 4:30am, with contractions that immediately intensified and close together. Around 5:30am we arrived to the hospital even though I wanted to labor at home longer. It was just super intense. I had my baby at 7:37am, about 10 minutes after my water broke. So my labor was just about 3 hours long. 
I’m wondering, with this second baby coming in July, how I should treat the contractions. Do I head to the hospital right away or wait a little bit? 😂 I’m already getting a little worried that I’ll have a baby at home 😅 I feel like I knew when my contractions started at 4:30 they were real but I can’t remember too much.

Answer

My first was 24 hours labor, 2nd was 3 hours, 3rd was 1 hour, 4th was 4 hours, and 5th was 45 minutes!
 I purposely have my babies at home tho so its not an issue for me going that quick! Im thankful!  I carried all of them past 42 weeks so with the exception of my first, when they were ready they just practically fell out!!

Answer

My first was 3 hours and 54 minuets, my second was a hour and 26 minuets. My water broke in the car and when that happened my husband took me straight in since it was a hour car ride. I’d say trust tour gut!

Answer

My first was 9 hours 17 minutes. My second was 5 hours 6 minutes

Answer

It depends on the person. My first labor was 5 hours. My second was 14 hours.

Answer

My first labor was 2 hours and 30 minutes, my second labor was 1 hour and 45 minutes.
My midwives told me to head in when I thought I was in labor, I remember she said the 5-1-1 rule does not apply to me. It took me a while to be convinced it was indeed labor so I ended up getting to the hospital only 30 minutes before baby was born.

Answer

I have to follow, because I had a 2.5 hour labor with my first baby and I'm wondering the same 😂 due again in early March

Answer

I honestly have no idea about short labors lmao 
My first was 56hrs and my second was 26hrs and I was induced with my second 
But I’d say the first they start rush to the hospital to be safe

Answer

I’d go right away. My first took 24 hours with induction but my second came in 4 hours.
