So 2nd labours really are so much faster then?

[Sandra2011]

My 1st labour total time was 6h 40 mins, 2nd one (yesterday :)) 1h 48 mins.

2nd stage in 1st labour was 1h 40 mins, in 2nd labour only 15 mins!

Congratulations!! :)

Did you have a boy or a girl? How are you feeling?

(My 1st labour was 46 hours and my 2nd was 43 hours.)

Congratulations Sandra, I will know soon as due any day now with DD2.

With DD1 I had a 6 and a half hour 1st stage, pushed for half hour, but she was stuck so had EMCS.

My mum had a 7 hour 1st stage and half hour 2nd stage with me.

With my brother stage 1 was less than an hour, she was holding him in in the hospital lift on the way to delivery, two pushes and he was out!

Congratulations!
Ist labour 7 hrs.
2nd labour 8 hrs.
3rd labour 20 MINS!!

3rd labour 20 mins!!!! OMG!
1st was 9, 2nd 1.5 hours 3rd will find out soon but hoping is not too long!

2nd labour 59 minutes (delayed because I was told not to push in the lift and then had to move to another bed for delivery!)
Huge congrats. How do you feel? I was a bit shocked after mine.

I had a little boy 3.3 kg at 37+6.

He came out with such a rush so I needed quite a few stitches but it was all worth it.

1st stage was about 4 hours
2nd stage 23mins
3rd stage 22mins

I went to "birth-after thoughts" and MW said that looking at my notes, she's written down on my notes 2 hours, not 4. as I think it was noted down a bit wrong for the active labour or something she said? :s

I literally wanted to push right away, and it did feel a lot fast than this.
got to hospital at 6:30ish and she was born at 8:33.

I am nearly 27 weeks, and do wonder how this time will go...

I would like another straight-forward wuick labour, but as you said OP sometimes even though fast is good, sometimes your body goes into shock

I had stitches, nothing too bad though and then pph of 1000mls 2hrs after :(

but i felt fine!

It wasn't too bad Littlemissnormal. I just didn't make it to hospital. I had him at home but the paramedics arrived in 10 minutes and were amazing. :)
