Anyone had a quick first birth?

So I'm 17 weeks pregnant and finally starting to believe I'll get a baby at the end of this after a rocky start to pregnancy.

I had my dd 6 years ago and it was 2 1/2 hours from first pain to birth - was fine but obviously a bit on the intense side.

Now a little worried as I keep reading how second births dare quicker - much quicker and I won't get to hospital (would rather not have a home birth)

So anyone who's had a quick first birth - what were your seconds like?!

DS1 was 4 hours
DS 2 was less than an hour and I wasn't really sure I was in labour when I phoned the maternity ward which is when they measured it from as I was just being violently sick.

My friend gave birth to her DS1 before the ambulance even got there, her DH had to help her. Her DS2 was a planned home birth but also arrived before the midwife could make it.
