How quick childbirth with DC3

I am currently 28 wks pregnant with DC3. My labour with DC2 was 54 mins from start to finish. I'm begining to worry about being in the house on my own with 2 children and going into fast labour again. Midwife said not to worry but I was just wondering if anyone found labour with third child was quicker than other 2.

Labour with DS3 was longer than for DS2. Ds2 was 1 1/2 hour and DS3 was 3 hours (from first contraction to birth)

DD4 was a much quicker though.

DC1 was 12 hours

DC2 was 6 hours

DC3 was 2 hours

DD1 - 28 hours
DD2 - 4.5 hours
DD3 - 1hr 59 minutes to be precise

Forgot to add, don't worry about it. But when you feel the first signs of labour act immediately.
You can always phone an ambulance if you feel it's going to be quick.

dd1 was a bit stoppy starty, but from when it really got going, about 4 hours

dd2 was just over 2 hours start to finish

dd3 waters 5am went and nothing happened for hours, started getting regular ctrx at about 4.30 had her at 7.35pm

ds waters went 5pm, nothing happened for hours. Sent MW away at 1.30am as nothing pregressing, had him at 3am 5 mins before they arrived!
