Fast first labour - What was your second like?

If you had a fast first labour, how did your second compare?
I am 32 weeks with my second and my first daughter was born 3 hours after waters broke out of the blue, no warning or anything so quite quickly. I was just wondering what to expect.

Slightly slower early stage (minor contractions but no pain) and much quicker main labour (almost didn't make it to the ward). Good luck!

Faster!
First was at 39+6 and 4hrs (induced)
Second was 39+3 and 2hrs 50min

I’m also a bit worried about this, almost had daughter on living room floor and ended up with ambulance delivery. Due to complications I had last time I’m not eligible for home birth but not sure what will happen if it’s even quicker!
