I hope so 🤣 induced with first two, 4cm to birth with first was around 7 hours, 2nd was also 7 hours but much more manageable. Pushing stage was harder but for some reason didn't have that urge to push so that was why. Pregnant with baby no 3 now and hoping it will be slightly faster x

It did with me.
First labour was spontaneous and it lasted about 12 hours
Second was induction and took about 8 hours after pessary
Third was induction and was 2 hours after pessary and only pushed for 8 minutes.

In my case, yes.

I've had three babies and each labour was roughly half as long as the previous one - 21 hours, 12 hous and five hours.

In my case yes. Approx 16 hours first time, approx two hour second time.

DD1 6 hours from first twinge to baby
Pregnant with DS1 now and hoping it'll be quick 🤞

Second was quicker, the third was sloooow. Got the midwife to break my waters in the end, and DC3 was born in the next hour.

It was for me... both SVD's. First was 9 hours all in, second was 47 minutes... Shock

17 hours.
Under 3

Under 3
6 hrs back to back labour
2 hours.
6 hrs back to back labour
After a few dc labour can get longer as the uterus has to work harder..

Nope. Both inductions. DC1 was 11.5 hours of drip labour. DC2 was 14 hours from drip start, but didn't descend and got stuck. So C-section it was.

Dd1 - 3 hours
Ds - 2.5 hours
Dd2 - 2.5 hours
