Re: Moms of 2 or more: How Much Quicker Was Your Second Labor?

1st labor: 12 hours with 2 hours of pushing

2nd labor: 3 hours long from first cramp until I was holding her in my arms! Only maybe 5 minutes of pushing.

3rd labor: 9 hours, with MAYBE 2 minutes of pushing They let me sit for almost 2 hours at 10 cm until I felt like I was ready to push which I think is why she slid right out

I was induced with my second, so I'm not sure it counts. But my first labor was 48+ hours, second was 6.

Re: Moms of 2 or more: How Much Quicker Was Your Second Labor?

My first labor was 40 hours. My second was an induction and it was a blissful 7 hours

Re: Moms of 2 or more: How Much Quicker Was Your Second Labor?

Re: Moms of 2 or more: How Much Quicker Was Your Second Labor?

Re: Moms of 2 or more: How Much Quicker Was Your Second Labor?

First was long as I was induced and had an epidural which slowed everything down.....got my cervadil inserted around 9pm and DD arrived at 4.48am after 2 1/2 hours of pushing.

Second started having very mild contractions at 12 noon - left my house for the hospital around 4.30pm, waters broke in the car on the way, arrived at the hospital at 5.15pm and DS was born 30 minutes later after 3 pushes!
