Your first labor compared to your second

How far along were you when you had your first baby compared to your second baby?

Was your second labor quicker than your first?

I was 2 weeks later with my second, but labor was waaaay shorter.

1st labor- 39 weeks, 6 days. 5 hours (2 1/2 hours of labor, and 2 1/2 hours of pushing)

2nd labor- 11 days early, less than one hour with 3 pushes. (And he was a lot bigger than my first, by a pound and a half)

37weeks exactly with my first. 39weeks 4 days with my second.
The labor was shorter by like half an hour.

my first was 16 days early, natural birth, 6 hours 48 minutes total, pushed for about 18 minutes.

my second was 8 days late, induced, no epidural again, 5 hours 33 minutes total, pushed for about 10 minutes

Second baby came 3 days earlier and labor was 4 hours both times though 2 hours of my first labor were pushing.

I would like to see these replies also.

Same here.

I delivered both at 39 weeks, 5 days.

My first was an induction, 4 hrs of laboring with 30 minutes of pushing.. Second labor I went in to on my own, six hours of laboring and six pushes.

That's similar to what happened to one of my friends. Her first baby was born at almost 39 weeks, and her second was born at 41.5 weeks. Her labor was longer the second time though.

With my first, I noticed mild contractions starting at 3:30 PM on May 15th - went to the hospital at 7AM May 16th (9cms dilated) and had her at 1:26PM that day.

With my 2nd, I noticed contractions on 6PM May 11th, got to the hospital at 6AM on May 12th (8cms dilated) and had him at 10:29AM that day.

DS1 35 weeks and 6 days - 5.5 hours pushed for 2.5 hours
DS2 39 weeks and 4 days - 2 hours and 40 mins pushed for 18 mins

My first was 10 days early, my second was 3 Weeks early. My first labor was easy pushed about 13 mins and done, no stiches. My second was 3 hours of pushing to end in emergency c section. My second was induced though

Eta: both labors were about the same length

1st labor - 3 days overdue, induced, epidural, 12 hour labor and about 15 min. of pushing until they used the vacuum to get him out because his heart rate was dropping. he was 6 lbs. 13 oz.

2nd labor - 1 day overdue, labor came nautrally, the anesthesiologist could not get my epidural in, 6 hour labor, pushed for about 5 minutes and she was out. she was 8 lbs. 12 oz.

I pushed for two hours with my daughter too, it was exhausting. They had me start pushing at around 8cm, to 'practice' and told me to keep pushing with every contraction until she was born.
