2nd labor shorter?

[PrayerfulHope]

Anyone who had a long birth the first time around, was your second any shorter?

My first labor was 37 hours, I'm wishing this one won't be as long but not super hopeful. :-/

My first was 24 hrs and my second was only 6 hrs. So much better the second time!

My first was 36hrs and my second was 18hrs lol. Both rather long but seemed to go quite quickly considering x

I'll take anything less than 30 this time around!!!

My first was back labor hell and lasted a little over 30 hours (back to back baby sucks!) I pushed for 6 hours. I was in transition for 9 hours.
My second labor. My water broke about 30 hours before real labor started, but once it got going i went from 4CM to placenta in 1 hour 15 minutes!

My first labour was 2.5 hrs.... Im not sure if I want this one to be shorter.... I might end up giving birth by the side of the road!

1st- I counted it as 22 hours, baby was persistent posterior. 6 hours active labour, 1hr15 of pushing.

2nd- hard to give a time really. Not sure when to start it from. I say 2.5 hours but on my notes it says 1st stage 38 minutes, 2nd stage 2 minutes! Only 30 minutes of actual pain and then she flew out!

First about 36 hours, second stage 20 minutes

Second was induced and about 7 hours, second stage about 40 minutes because I had an epidural and couldn't feel anything down there

Third about 7 hours for a posterior baby. My previous baby was 13 years beforehand and they say with such a large gap it's like a first birth all over again but I don't think so. It took 15 minutes for second stage which included him turning the right way around and getting a little stuck.
