Second pregnancy - likely to be shorter or longer than first?

[elk4baby]

Hi,
I'm just wondering if other mums of two out there could tell me whether their second pregnancy was longer or shorter than the first?
If you'd delivered on time the first time round, does it say anything about your second?
I've heard that labour tends to be shorter with your second/subsequent, but what about the pregnancy itself?
Thanks!

Hi! I have two and am pregnant with number 3.
My DS was born on his exact due date and was a 9lb er. That labour was 14 hours from first twinge to delivery and I had an epidural.
My DD was actually 5 days over and I was horrified as everyone convinced me I'd go earlier than due date. She was only 7lb funny enough and that labour was 2 hours from first waking up with pains to delivery.

Probably not what you were hoping to hear but maybe with going over I benefited from a more speedy labour or maybe it has something to do with the weight of the baby as heavier baby will have more weight pressing down on cervix to trigger labour.
It's a mystery at the end of the day :)

I asked this recently on here as DS was 10 days early and I thought there would be a chance this one would be early too.

I had many replies and it was all random. Some were earlier the first time and went way overdue the second time. No correlation at all.

mine were all overdue..
