How much sooner did your 2nd baby arrive?

[BabyMamaOf2]

Just for a bit of fun😊 my first arrived at 40+6. Labour from first contraction to delivery was nearly 32 hours. I arrived at hospital at 5cm dilated and he was born 2.5 hours later. My second is due in July. When did your second baby make their appearance and was your labour much quicker?😊

Has your second arrived yet @BabyMamaOf2?

First labour 17 hours - 40+2
Second labour 3.5 hours - 39+1

Hope you had a safe delivery op

I’ve just had my second - first was born at 40+3, second came at 37 weeks! Waters broke but no sign of labour so was induced - she’s 8 days old now, I hadn’t even started mat leave hehe x

First labour on my due date, 48ish hours

second labour, +10, 7ish hours

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto not yet! He’s due tomorrow and having a sweep (for size reasons). So hopefully he’ll be here by the end of the week!😊

@HarveyDanger aww thank you, still awaiting arrival😬

@Roundandnettledr congratulations on your new baby😊

@BabyMamaOf2 best of luck tomorrow ☺️

DC1 - born on due date. Labour was officially 18.5 hrs ish, but I was having contractions for closer to 3 days.

DC2 - born at 41+3. Labour was less than 2 hours.

First born- 40+4, 24hrs
Second born- 40+3, 14hrs

First 36+5 30 hours
Second 40+2 4-5 hours

22 weeks earlier between 1 and 2

Good luck OP!

Dc1- started labour on the Friday morning with my waters going, intense beyond painful contractions until he was born on Sunday morning on the due date.

Dc2- due date, woke up at 2am with contractions back to back from the first one, 2 hours later (after 30 mins drive to the hospital) baby was born within 30 mins of getting to the hospital.
Luckily we left for the hospital as I was trying to time my contractions, but there was no pause in-between for me to try and even time them so I insisted we leave straight away for the hospital (against the advice of the midwife on the phone who said even though they were back to back that because they had only just started I would be hours and hours away from labour)
When I arrived at the hospital I was checked and was only 4cm dilated, I was also scolded by the midwife doing the check as she didn't believe I wasn't having gaps between contractions, however literally 5 mins after this I was pushing without knowing that I was, 2 pushes baby was born.
So it progressed extremely quickly - in total it was literally 2 hours from first contraction until baby was born. If I hadn't had ignored the midwife and listened to my own instincts baby would have been born at home or at the side of the road.

First labour 41 weeks. Took 36 hours
2nd labour 40+6 7 hours
3rd 40 weeks (and 1 hour 14 mins over ) 20 hours
4th labour 41+3 slow labour all week but when it finally decided to do something 12 hours from when contractions stopped "stopping for a few hours" dd3 is still the most stubborn of all her siblings 🙄

2nd labour is my "I want to do that again" moment in life. Amazing experience

First labour from waters breaking to birth - 34 hours (18 hours of contractions)
Second labour as above - 6 hours (2 hours of contractions)

First labour: 39 weeks took 33 hours
Second labour: 41 weeks took 46 hours
Third labour: 39+2 weeks took 35.5 hours

1st - born due date, labour 20 hours
2nd - born 40+4, labour 2 hours

Oh good luck for tomorrow then!

#1 40+2 17hrs labour
#2 40+11 5hrs
#3 40+13 5hrs

First baby- on due date 5.5 hours total labour and delivery time

Second baby 11 days late 3.5 hours start to finish

Third baby 2 days early 1.5 hours total!

4th baby adopted so the most painless birth possible lol 😂

My second was 5 days early and was born within 20 minutes of getting to the hospital.

First labour 38 weeks 24.5 hours
Second labour 39 weeks 60 minutes

DC1 40+12
DC2 40+3
DC3 40+1

So less overdue each time

Dc1 37 weeks 8hrs 20mins
Dc2 37 weeks 2hrs from first contraction she was born 10 mins after I got to the hospital didn't even make it up to the labour ward.

First arrived at exactly 39 weeks. I was in labour for 19 hours from waters breaking and pushing for just over four hours.

Second arrived on due date. He arrived within an hour of first sign of labour

All bloody late. Each one earlier than the last though… labours were long (18 hours ish) short (4 hours ish) and two medium (9 hours ish then 10 hours ish)

Hope your induction goes well.
