Q: Is it true that with a 2nd pregnancy that labour time is possibly shorter?

Okay so here is another question :) since I have been getting closer to the end I've been doing lots of reading, and have read things about labour and delivery being a shorter process then with your first pregnancy? Is this always true? I would love to hear from other mothers who already have previous children as to what your labour time was the next time around...shorter or longer?? My first was 8 hours so a shorter labour and delivery this time around would be great! :)

My first was just under 13 hours, my second was 3 hours. So in my case it was true, but everybody is differnt. I will say that the second was more painful, I think it was because I progressed so much faster. I'm 16 weeks with my third, hoping for another 3 hours or less. Good luck to you.
