I had a fairly easy pregnancy with dd - apart from heartburn and swollen ankles i felt fine...the labour has pretty horrendous and after an eternity I had an epidural, episteomy and foreceps delivery.
Ds - felt sick in early pregnancy - was absoutely hugh - really quick labour - delivered him on the bathroom floor as he came so quickly I didn't have time to get to hospital - 9lbs 10oz

Interesting, thanks. Dd's labour was 2 hours and apart from a 2nd degree tear was fine.

Everyone has been kindly telling me that this one will be awful - Yeah, thanks for that!

First time round I had a textbook pregnancy then a difficult labour. Second time round a difficult pregnancy with various scares and scans followed by induction and.... very quick easy labour! I don't think you can really predict though.
