Did you have a quicker labour after first?

Question

Ladies who've had more than one baby did your labours get quicker each time?

Answer

First was 11 hours and second was 15 hours. Second was twins and the moment I walked in they said “it will be fast since there’s two and it’s my second pregnancy” they lied lol

Answer

I was told it's common for them to take half the time, but when you get under 6 hours you don't half the time anymore.
And my first was 10 hours and my second was 5 hours. So it seems pretty spot on for me at least 😊

Answer

1st- induced. Broke my water at 2 cm, she was born 5 1/2 hrs later
2nd- spontaneous. Contractions woke me just after midnight. Puttered around, made coffee. Got my husband up and called MIL over to sit with our oldest around 1:30 am. Got to the hospo around 2:30 am. 4-5 cm with a bulging bag. Admitted. Got into a L&D room at 3:28. About 45ish minutes later I was pushing. He was born at 4:21 am. 
OB was concerned if we had a third I may give birth at home or on the way to the hospo (we're about 45 mins away with no traffic) challenge accepted. Due in October. We have a fire department down the road if anything should happen before we get there.

Answer

First was 13 hrs of labor and 45 mins of pushing 
Second was 7 1/2 hours of labor and 22 seconds of pushing 
Third was 1 hr 33 minutes of labor and no pushing- baby came by feral ejection reflex.

Answer

I need a poll option so that I can see the results and what to expect generally 😭

Answer

First was 17 hours from start to finish, second was 12 hours start to finish. Currently 35 weeks with my third who I’m hoping comes quicker too
