Speedy second labour

Hi,
my first was born in just over 3 hours, my second was an induction but baby arrived 40 minutes after contractions started. I am currently expecting 3rd baby and wondered if I should expect another speedy delivery? If you have had a speedy delivery were your next births quick/quicker?
thanks in advance!

1st was born 2.5 hours after my waters broke, i had been tightening (but not in established labour) for 12 hours before that. Went from 3cm to fully dilated in an hour, then spent 1.5 hours pushing.

2nd, planned homebirth, was 5.5 hours from regular contractions. Had a sweep the day before which caused tightenings all night. Baby born en caul in 3 pushes. The midwife had to break the membranes as she was birthed!

2 completely different labours. Not planning on a third!
