Was 2nd baby easier delivery????? Weak muscles

Question

When I delivered my first child, the delivery was easy. I got an epidural and did not feel much pain and slept til I labored down and push for maybe ten mins tops. It really wasn’t bad. I’m worried my second won’t be as easy because my push muscles don’t feel as strong .. sometimes when I poop it’s hard for me to push out. Everyone keeps telling me the second child comes out easier but for some reason I feel like it’s going to be harder. Anyone have a second tough delivery and easy first?

Answer

Second was as easy as the first. I thought the first was easy (he was also small). I’ve never heard of subsequent babies being more difficult to get out (even if muscles aren’t as strong-they normally never are 😂🙏🏼).

Answer

Second was easy for me. I wonder if the third will be even easier. I will see soon.

Answer

My second was harder because the epidural was so strong I couldn’t feel anything at all, so pushing took more than 1 hour (with my first it was 10 min), and ended up with a lot of pelvic floor issues after delivery. This time I’m gonna try to go without epidural or at least get a lighter dose and not start pushing if I can’t feel anything at all.

Answer

Honestly my second was harder because he was heads down but face up and kept getting stuck. So my doctor put her arm up in me to turn him face down every time I pushed and it completely messed with my muscles. It was four years ago and I still have issues. I had an epidural too. I’m hoping my third will go easier.

Answer

I've had all across the board. My first I was pushing about an hour, second was about half that time, my third fell out in 2 pushes, and the fourth was arms crossed and very difficult to push out. I think it depends on a lot of factors. Positioning, how big baby is (my baby that fell out was my smallest at 5 lb 5 oz), etc...

Answer

2 easy deliveries here ❤️❤️

Answer

My first was harder because the cord was around his neck so no matter how much I pushed he wouldn’t come thru and my epidural was wearing off. Once they realized that, they had me stop and they pushed/him out with shoulder dysphasia. Turned out he was almost 9 lbs. His sister was similar, where she was almost 9 lbs, but they knew from the history that my babies run bigger so they pushed/pulled her out too. We’ll see what this one brings
