Labour the second time around.
hi guys, just wondering how everyones 2nd time labour was...
I has my first child premature, my contractions started at about 8 in the morning. went to hospital by 9, and was not even 2cm dilated (was told i had hours to go).. however, Had very very strong contractions after 9 and gave bith to my baby girl at 10 past 10. WITH NO NURSE OR DOCTOR IN THE ROOM!
Well anyway enough about that, me and my partner are now trying to concieve our second child.. I no all labours are different, but how was your second labours, did you find it harder etc...
Thanks for all replies in advance. XX

My second labour was pretty straight forward, my first was 16 1/2hrs and number 2 was only 3hrs, when i had number 3 though it went back to 16hrs as was with new partner!
Good luck in ttc number 2.xx
I had a 3 day labour had to stay in hospital for 2 days afterwards because they couldnt be bothered to do Kaiden's (my son) assessment until the 2nd day or even check on him for that matter. Considering he needed oxygen & wasnt moving when he was born, it was worrying.
Anyway, im going on a bit, the main thing is, i am scared to go through all that again!

Apart from one (post on this in ttc, importance of folic acid) all my pregnancies have been pretty straight forward, well apart from all the sickness in this one! All my labours have been good too, my quickest was my 2nd like i said and the more you have (with the same partner) the quicker they get!
Hope this helps.xxxx
Why does it make a difference if they are with the same partner? Mine are but I'm just curious lol.
