Length of second and third labours

[mafog]

Just wondering how long your second labour was and your third labour.

2nd - 15 mins
haven't had a 3rd

First - 4h 20m
Second - 2h 30m
Third - 1h 35m

That's from waters to baby, or first contraction to baby in DD2's case.

1st - 3 hrs
2nd - 45mins
3rd - about 4 hours, but wasn't really trying very hard. About 6 minutes of actual pushing.

1 - forever
2 - less
3 - much less

1st - 5.5 hrs (waters to baby)
2nd - 3.5 hrs (waters to baby)

currently pregnant with 3rd so very interested in this thread

wow, you all had really quick labours.

Watching with interest as no 2 due in 8 weeks or so.

1st labour 18 hrs from waters trickling, so am hoping for a 4 hr quickie this time !!

1st 18 hours- 2 weeks overdue
2nd 12 hours- a couple of days over due dates
3rd 4 hours - due date
4th 45 mins- 3 weeks early- from when water broke and having mild contractions to a rather quick birth !

expecting my 5th in 6 weeks time and wondering if this baby will be early too and as quick as my last

1st - 12 hrs from confirmed labour (4cm)

2nd - 3hrs from 2cm (I was in lots of pain and horrified to be told only 2cm! But did progress fairly quickly from then)

3rd - 1hr 15 mins but may not count as induced by drip (drip caused contractions immediately, dilation only checked when I needed to push - about 5 mins before birth)

Didn't have an epidural with any (they're often said to slow progress).

Hoping for quick easy labour 4th time

Both induced:

1st at term, 36 hours

2nd at 38+1, 2.5 hours!!!

DS induced at 38 weeks took 3 days
DD not induced at 37 weeks - 4hrs from waters breaking to birth.

all inductions

dd1 - days
dd2 - 10 hours from first pessary to birth!
dd3 - days (was induced on due date rather than 2 weeks over like others)
dd4 - 11 hours from first pessary to birth - however official labour 2 mins, they checked me was 8 cm so in labour then 3 contractions rapid contractions later it was all over and done with!

my second lasted for ages, it was uch more painful, but no tears thanks to fantastic MW.

1st - over 24 hours.
2nd - 2.5 hours
3rd - 1.5 hours (but did not think first half hour was labour!, so felt like it was less than an hour!)

all at 38/39 weeks and not induced.

ds1 24 hours water breaking cc started straight away

dd 10 hours from regular cc but a few irratic ones before

1= 18 hours from 4cm to birth
2= 3.5 hours from 1st contraction to birth, but about 1.5 hours of proper labour.
3= ask me in 10 weeks

1st 5.5 hours
2nd 1 hour

No third, thank goodness.

2nd 30mins from 3cms till baby out 3 pushes
3rd 20mins 3 cms to out 2 pushes

They were VBACS and back to back.. although DS1 TURNED at the last minute

1st: 25 hours on due date
2nd: 12.5 hours 4 days overdue

1st - 6 hrs
2nd - 3 hrs
3rd - 2.5-3 hrs
m/w told me it was very common for 2nd to be half time of first.

1st - 7 3/4 hours from 1st pessary
2nd - 4 hours from first twinge but waters had gone 9 hous before that

1st - 48h
2nd - 27h
3rd - 2h

Each one 1st contraction to baby. Each one had strong regular contractions from the begining.

1. 14 hours officially but they didn't count the 24 hours of being induced on the antenatal ward!

1. 6 hrs and 45 mins, went into labour naturally

1. another induction, 8 hrs or so from waters being broken, again they didn't count the day on the anteward being induced!

1. term, spontaneous, 25h
2. 38 weeks, induced, 15h from first pessary, prob about 6h established labour with drip.
3. 36 weeks, spontaneous, ~2hrs established labour (7hrs from waters breaking)
