They both hurt the same (as far as contractions -- mine were very painful!) but second was way faster. My friends don't even let me talk about it because they all say I just sneezed her out haha! Active labour started at 11:30am ish, and she was born an hour later! I was only in the labour and delivery room for 10 mins!

You're daughter was born in my birthday! So hopefully that is a good sign for me, and I just sneeze this one out too!

My second pregnancy was alot tougher on my body than my first. I suffered with SPD from about 20 weeks and it gradually got worse as the weeks went by.
As for the labour, it was MUCH easier than my first. I was in labour for 10 hours first time round and with Evie, my waters broke at 11.30am, contractions started around 12pm and I had her at 2.21 I had some problems with actually pushing her out (shoulder dystocia) so was pushing for a long time but even so, much much easier than before! I had no pain meds until after Evie was born when I was given a paracetamol

May I ask what SPD is? Just wondering because this time around my body is always achey, and no matter how I sit or lie my hips and shoulders hurt, and my tummy/uterus feels achey as if not enough blood flow is getting to it. Even when I sleep on my left or propped up. or sitting or standing. Which I always feel faint. So this pregnancy deffinately sucks! And to think I'm only 21 weeks feeling as if I'm 40 weeks.

I'm stalking this thread. We're not even ttc #2 (yet, if ever!) but the thought of delivery terrifies me as I was in labour for 18 hours with LO, he got stuck and I had a forceps delivery (no epidural, nothing but gas and air for that part, horrific).

However, I went round to meet my friends new baby yesterday. Her first delivery was much like mine so she was terrified too. She got to hospital and demanded an epidural almost straight away as she thought she was in for another long haul. The mw said no need, it's time to push! She couldn't believe it. 4 hours start to finish, nothing but gas and air, no tearing. She said it was amazing, so much better than the first time.

2nd wayyy easier despite zero pain relief. both labours were quite similar (both LOs back to back) but roman was almost 2lbs heavier and 16 days later than amelie was! Active labour with roman was about a third of the time amelies was and pushing was way less too.

I was very lucky with both pregnancies both births we lovely too, but my 2nd was nicer in respect that it was in a birth unit and I laboured how I wanted to much more.

The run up however with my 2nd was as you discribed I just didn't have tune or so t felt to et everything done but it came together in the end
