I hope so!
My first labour was monday- thursday (21 hours from 'active' labour to birth though) and stuff doing that again with a toddler at home!

my 1st was 2 days early and 6hrs of labour 2 of those where pushing her out! She had to be forceped out.

my 2nd was so different, waters broke and 5hrs later he was here. On his due date

my 3rd was 6 weeks early and here within an hour from my waters breaking (first contraction was 10mins after waters breaking)

My 2nd was faster, and a little earlier. DD was born 6 days early after a 6 hour labour. DS was born 8 days early after a 4 hour labour.

my second labour was longer, my first was around 5 hours, my second 20 hours!!, i hope if we have a third its not like 30 or more hours lol

My first labour was 8 hours, I got to the hospital at 6cm dilated and the baby was born 5 hrs later. He was 3 weeks early.

My second labour was 16 hours but I didnt realise I was in labour until 3 hrs before she was born. I had been getting braxton hicks all the way through the pregnancy so on D Day I thought it was just more braxton hicks. They were very irregular contractions. So I just monitored them and the only reason I went to the hospital was because I had a bleed so lucky that happened (waters didnt break) otherwise who knows what might have happened. She was 2 weeks early.

Good luck. I had gut feelings that both mine would be early and they were

DD - 12 hours.
DS - 2 hours.

I did have my waters broken with DS so that would have sped things up a fair bit, I think I would have gone at least 6-8 hours without the ARM.

DD1 38+5- 31 hours
DD2 40+0- 8.5 hours, 3 attempts at ventouse and 2 attempts at forceps
DD3 38+0- 3.5 hours

For me each labour has been shorter than the last.

DS1 - I'm actually not 100% sure lol I THINK around 11 hours though, starting from when I definitely knew I was in labour (not actually when contractions started) till epidural for emergency c-section. I was 38+2 weeks.

DS2 - 2hours 10mins, from first contraction till in my arms, born in 20mins. I made it to the birthing suite 5 mins before I had to start pushing. I had BH for 2 days prior. I was 39+2

I'm also wondering how long #3 will take. I think I'll go over my due date. My plan is to call the hospital & say I'm on my way as soon as labour starts.

First baby, 2 hour labour
Second baby, 23 hour labour

DS1 was induced. 4.5 hr labour 10 days early and was 4.5kgsDD was natural 4 days early. 6 he labour 3.8kgsDS2 was 20 minutes. 2 days early 3.5kgs.
I found my 2nd labour to be worse. I think because I knew what was going to happen and I was frightened.
