my first labor was long. 20 hour long labor but a quick delivery.
I was induced.
I am preg again and am wondering how was your second time around.
I know all babies and labors are different but i am still curious

My first was 28 hours of labor followed by only 20 minutes of pushing and VERY painful. My second, by the time I got to the hospital I was already 7 cm dialated and could barely tell I was in labor. 3 pushes and here came my 9 lb 14 oz son. I prayed that night for every woman to have an easy birth like I had given. Good luck to you.

My first two labours were extremely painful and difficult! My third pregnancy I went to a chiropractor and had my little guy alll natural! I believe this to have been a major help in my labour process! I also did yoga and believe this helped to open up my hips for the process!! I hope this helps:)

My first labor was more than 24 hours and many of those hours were induced. With my second child I labored about 3 hours and my 3rd I only labored about 2 hours.

My first was long as well. 23 hours followed by 1/2 hour of pushing. My second was only 14 hours followed by 15 minutes of pushing. I was induced for both.
