So with my first, I woke up from my contractions a little after 5:00 am and Violet was born at 8:16. Which means that my first labor was about 3 hours long. Sure it could have been a bit longer, but the part that was intense enough to not sleep through was 3 hours. That's pretty fast for a first labor. I'm now due with my second on the 22nd of March.
Did anyone else here have a fast first labor and then have a second kid? How fast was your first labor and what was the second labor like for you?
Oh, and I had a home birth with my first. It was not a water birth and gas and air are not an option for home birth in the US, so it was completely drug free with only my relaxation strategies for pain relief. I'm planning the same for my second birth.
