Curious!
I know what labor felt like with LO and am waiting for the same type of pain with baby 2.
I've been getting tons of painful BH contractions, but nothing that feels like real contractions.

Omg I thought you were about to say you thought you were in labor!
-
Labor felt pretty much the same. I labored about the same amount of time too.
-
@Leialou: haha not yet!!
-
it was very similar, but way faster. it was fast for me the first time, and even faster the second. with olive, from contractions to birth it was less than 8 hours.
-
It was different for me the second time around because my water broke first with DD, before I really had any contractions. With DS, I had false labor every night for about 2 weeks before I finally went into "real" labor. And with him, I had the more textbook labor of timeable contractions slowly increasing in intensity.
-
I had a lot more BH contractions the second time around. With my son, I got them periodically but not enough for me to really notice. But with DD, I had them all the time before I went into real labor. I remember getting strong and constant BH contractions 3-4 days before I went into labor.
-
I didn't even feel early labor with #2 and I heard that's quite common. First contraction was pretty strong, and right away they came every 4-5 mins.
And yes, labor is usually much faster the second time around. My first was 20 hrs and my second was just 6 hours start to finish. It might've been even faster if I got to the hospital sooner, but I kept holding out on it because I couldn't believe I would go that fast.

Totally, absolutely different. With my first I had my water break before any contractions, and then was fully dilated in 8 hours (but then had 4 hours of pushing). With #2, I thought I had bad gas (!!!), but was at first noticeable contraction to baby born in 2.5 hours. It was insanely fast, and so much easier the second time around!
