3 or more deliveries

For those who have had three or more deliveries, did your delivery go faster the more babies you had? I know that all pregnancies are different and just wanted to see what others had experienced.

    My deliveries did not get faster. The first two were about the same and the 3rd was much longer. My mother's deliveries also stayed about the same. I know one of my sisters had a very long first labour followed by a 40 minutes 2nd labour but her 3rd and 4th were over 8 hours.

    I guess it just depends on the person and baby. My grandmother had over 13 babies, her hardest and longest labour was her 4th.
