What's happening?" that I did last time for FOUR HOURS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1699132 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:16:09 +0000 HappyBaker 1699132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Sorry!

I was planning on working until I go into labor and if it's under an hour, I'll be having this baby in the car by myself!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1699105 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:12:47 +0000 chopsuey 1699105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 hours vs 4 hours </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1699071 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 14:04:39 +0000 HappyBaker 1699071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These threads scare me!

First labor I had a handful of painful contractions the night before the induction. Pitocin started at 11 am and delivered just before 6 pm. Second labor contractions started naturally on Wednesday afternoon and delivered after 5pm on Thursday. Even though it was longer the second labor was easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1698761 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 12:40:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 1698761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Gives me anxiety!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1698584 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:46:18 +0000 coopsmama 1698584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread gives me hope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1698567 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:39:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1698567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hahha why not?? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1698560 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:38:25 +0000 sorrycharlie 1698560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>whyyyy do I read these threads.... :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1698518 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 11:24:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1698518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the sound of decreased pushing times! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1697595 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:50:15 +0000 PinkElephant 1697595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Labor with #1 was about 5 hours after my induction (water broke about 10 hours before that)..</p> <p>#2 was 4 hours start to finish and out in 3 pushes - eek! I was only at the hospital 40 minutes before I had a baby in my arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1697593 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:48:34 +0000 lamariniere 1697593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MUCH faster. </p> <p>LO1 - I was already at 7cm within 30min of contractions starting and then I had an epi which slowed everything down. From the time contractions started to the birth it was about 10 hours total with 1 hour of pushing. </p> <p>LO2 - my water broke and the nothing happened for a long time (no contractions). I was given an enema which jump started the contractions and once they did start the whole L&amp;D was only 45min with 3 pushes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1697589 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:44:14 +0000 lemondrop 1697589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start to finish was exactly the same, but pushing was significantly reduced (3 hours for #1 and 15 minutes for #2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1697575 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:14:18 +0000 HLK208 1697575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Labor with #1 was 8 hours and 5 with #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1697562 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:01:46 +0000 birdofafeather 1697562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm not KU, but i'm super interested as my water broke and i had DD1 within 7 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1696691 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:32:29 +0000 GrapeCrush 1696691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was about 12 hours quicker...one of the perks of a scheduled C-section ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1696678 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:28:12 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1696678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shaved off about five hours. 13 the first time, 8 the second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1696673 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:26:49 +0000 Bao 1696673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One hour longer but pushing was 5 or less minutes vs an hour and 45 minutes. I was able to stand and walk/talk through most of my labor the second time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-subsequent-deliveries-quicker#post-1696666 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:25:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1696666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious for those with two or more kids. Were your subsequent deliveries quicker?</p> <p>For the purpose of our poll I would say start from when you knew it was the real deal! Including laboring at home. </p>
