Was your second labour quicker or slower than your first?

my first was 7 hours 49 minutes and my second was 18 minutes

my first labour was by far easier to manage as it was a gradual build up where as my second was like BAM baby out :/

18 mins?

Thats crazy! Did you make it to hospital?

My first was 6.5 hours from waters breaking (they went first) but from when my contractions starting it was 5 hours with about an hour pushing. I was advised a home birth for my second which I had. My second was again 6.5 hours from waters breaking but only 1.58 hours from my contractions starting with about 15 mins pushing. He probably would have been born sooner but I had to try and hold off pushing for 20 mins while we waited for the 2nd midwife to arrive.
