In 12 weeks time I am due to have our 2nd child. Labour & delivery is very much at the front of my mind. DD1 was back to back, I experienced the latent part if labour with contractions for 5days, on day 6 at 4cm they decided to induce me as I was exhausted. From induction to DD1's arrival was 7hrs 41min, with only a short 40mins of pushing...... Can anyone advise me of a difference in 2nd time labour, have you experienced back to back first time, and normal second?? Or normal both times with a much shorted labour time. I remember my last experience as being nothing but painful & slightly traumatic (this could be due to lack of sleep tho) my maternity until don't give epidurals.
Even if you have not experienced back to back what were your labour times all my midwife can tell me is that it is quicker 2nd time......1hr away from hospital, how quick is quicker???
I'm spending every spare minute on a ball, or lying on my left side trying desperately to avoid back to back 2nd time round
