SECOND time (or more) moms: question for ya - how was the second labor compared to the first? Faster? Slower? More or less pushing? Etc. I had a really easy first birth with an epidural but I’m planning on going natural this time. I was in active labor for 8-9 hours and I just sat there because I didn’t feel anything from the epidural and then I pushed for only 20 minutes. Guess I’m getting a little paranoid that I won’t make it to the hospital depending on where I’m at, lol.

@dpushknockx, very true! I didn’t expect this last one to be so hard but if I had it to do over I probably wouldn’t have been induced! I just didn’t want to have a big baby and have to end up having a csection or something but it was bad and they turned my epidural off so I felt most of it and pushed for like 2 hours! 😩 but yes it’s all different for everyone. It’s nice to get some comparisons tho

@lesleyandjustinsimpson, wow!! So literally it just doesn’t matter. Every pregnancy and labor is just different. You can have 20 kids and the last one may be the hardest haha

My second was traumatizing.. he got stuck, so I ended up pushing for, no joke, 5 hours!! My first was a breeze. I had the epidural, but it wasn’t as effective as with my first. I couldn’t feel anything w my first, my second.. I could still move my legs and they just felt like they were slightly numb. The doctors had to help me w the delivery by using the clamps to help pull my baby out. Needless to say.. I was glad it was over.

Slower, labor time was the same, but when it came to pushing, I only pushed for 14 minutes with my first, I pushed for an hour with my second. I had an epidural with both, my 3rd and 4th labor and delivery went quicker, same with epidural.

My first baby (42wks) I was admitted at 4am had baby at 10am (with epi). Second baby (41wks) I was admitted at 1am had baby at 6am (epi wore off), and third baby(39wks), was admitted at 3am had baby before noon. They gave me oxytocin because I wasn't progressing fast enough. In hindsight I would have denied it, but whatever. No epi, just some IV drugs which got cut off half way though the whole deal.

Recovery was 500000x better without epidural.

My 1st I had a 12 hr total labor 40+3 with my 1st, had an epidural and she crowned on her own I pushed 2 or 3 times and she was out. My 2nd I had about 9 or 10 hr total labor I was Induced at 39+4 due to elevated bp. I had an epidural and she crowned on her own again and I pushed 2-3 times. So pretty similar.

@dpushknockx, I think having your first baby is terrifying because you have no idea what to expect! The second time around, I had horrible anxiety going into it, but once I was actually at the hospital, I felt so much more confident because I knew what to expect and there was nothing surprising or unexpected like the first time around. You got this!

Second labor was way faster (2 hours from start to finish) and I didn’t have time to get an epidural. Third time was also fast (four hours from start to finish) but I had time to get an epidural that time.
