Did you notice your labors get shorter?

MaxsonMomma

I have 3 children.  My first labor was 13 hrs, my second was 5 hrs, and my third was 2.5 hrs.  If this rate keeps sticking number 4 will be an hour long.  Which it takes 1 hour to get to the hospital.  I know that every labor is different but just want to hear your stories.  Congrats on all of your new babies!

Labor 1 was 9 hours. Labor 2 was 18 hours. Mine had the opposite results lol

Labor 1 was induced, and my water was broken immediately after starting the pitocin, so maybe that's why? Labor 2 was not induced, and my water was broken after I'd been in labor for 16 hours.

DD1 was 9 hours of labor, 3 of pushing. DD2 was 90 minutes, start to finish. It would have been quicker if I didn't have to wait for my parents to arrive to watch DD1 before starting our 30 minute drive to the hospital.

first was 18, second was 3, and last was 9.

Two kids, two inductions, long labors - 18 hours each, very quick delivery - 20 minutes DS1 and 3 pushes with DS2.
