was your second labour quicker than your first?

[elisesmum]

So i had an induced first labour which only lasted 4 hour (tablet inserted) and wondered if im more likely to have a quicker second birth, i know every labour is different but just wondered if the old wifes tale has some truth in it xx

1st 30 odd hours
2nd 4 hours
3rd one hour hospital 3 mins before giving birth.

So with me yes they have got much faster each time, 4 hours was a fast labour for you first tho so maybe it won't change loads.

Yeah was for me too. Both times i had no signs my waters just popped and from waters going until baby in arms dd was 4 hours ds was 1 and half hours. So if I have a 3rd Im expecting less than an hour lol!
So if your like me don't wait around too long when you go into labour!
