Was delivery easier the second time around? In spite of my "birthing hips", I have a narrow pelvis and even 3.5 weeks early, we had a hard time getting Avery out (talk about a cone head). I am freaking about delivering another one, especially a potentially larger child. The L&D nurse who assisted during Avery's delivery took care of me Monday and told me not to worry because Avery paved the way and the second would be a breeze. I just wonder how true that is.
The second round was easy but the first time was pretty easy too. Sorry that was not much help.
ETA: From the time my water broke with Joshua labor was five hours. With Gabriel it was just 2 hours after my water broke. This is the best comparrison I can give.

ditto. 1st was 7 hour labor start to finish with maybe 15 minutes pushing. 2nd was 2 hour labor start to finish with her coming as soon as they stopped holding her in for the doctor to come. And 2nd was bigger, but only by 5 ounces.
That other poll pp mentioned looks like you definitely have hope!

I'm not a mom of 2 but just read this poll, and it give me hope that things will be much quicker whenever we have another:

I don't mind the labor part if I am drugged. It is the pushing. I just want to wake up and having him here. I wish the stork were true.
