Is it more likely for your 2nd child to come quicker than your first?
Answer:
Yes. The average labor for a first birth is about 13 hours and about 8 hours for your second.
I assume this refers to giving birth. Yes, unless many years have gone by between the two births the labor in the second birth is shorted.
It is more likely for your 2nd labor to be faster than your 1st. But, there is an exception to every rule!
i have heard that it is mine was easier andcame sooner adn they say it is because of your muscles and legmants already have streched before and so they can again and labor is easier and dont hurt as bad so good luck.
After the first labor, you body remembers and each labor after the first gets faster. My first labor was 18 hours, my second was only 6 hours. My SIL's was 1st, 10 hours, 2nd, 5 hours and her 3rd was only 3/12 hours.
Your second child will deliver faster if there are no complications.
I think it is.
My mom went late with me, and two days early for each of my little brothers.
Then again, my friend went early withher first, and late by two weeks with her second... lol.
Not always. But most of the time they do say the second one and there after are easier.
My 1st came within 12 hours from the first contraction. It started at midnight had the baby at noon(was in the hospital by 11am).. the 2nd started mild contractions at 6am had the baby at 11:30am that morning.
My 1st was one day early, my second was a week late.. she has been a week late every since ;-)
It just depends. Normally they'll come around the same time, unless there are significantly different circumstances. If you were a little early or late with the first, you probably will be with this one too. Both mine were a week past my due date. But my menstrual cycles are also a week longer than the normal 28 day cycle.
not for me personally. my first labor was 12 hours and my second was 2 weeks of contractions followed by another 12 hours in the hospital
Not necessarily. Second births tend to be faster though. My second child was born 6 hours after labor set in but my first was 18 hours.
yes def. it was like that for me i was in labor 12 hrs. on my 1st child and 7 hrs. with my 2nd
yes, it more likely a second child,partly due to the fact that you have a child and your cervix and birth canal have already been stretched.
That is not always the case.
I was exactly 7 days late with my first and labor only lasted 6 hours.
With my 2nd child , I was 10 days late and labor was killer. I was in for 18 hours when I opted for an epidural and another 1 1/2 hours of pushing before I finally gave birth.
It got worse even after that.. I was late with my third by 5 days .. and with my 4th child, I was exactly 2 weeks late...
So, it doesn't really matter if it is your 1st or 4th, the baby will come when the baby is ready
Congrats and good luck!
well its hard to tell really my first was 4 days late my second was 6 days late.really it just depends on the baby and when he or she is ready. i am 33 wks pregnant now and who knows this one may come early may come late. and usually the labor goes faster but not always. it really depends my friend had her first baby with no trouble and was in labor for 10 hrs. but her second one she just had tuesday she walked around dialated at 3 for almost 2 wks. they didnt want to enduce her cause cause it wasnt due yet. but with me my first baby i was in labor from 9pm to 1130 am and that one was induced. but my second one i was only in labor for 4 hrs and pushed her out in 3 mins. lol am hoping this one comes out just as fast.
The average length of gestation for 1st time moms is 41 weeks + 1 day. The average length of gestation for multips (those who have had more than one) is 40 weeks + 3 days. So the answer to your question is yes.
My first was 5 days late my second was 2 days early.
I HEARD THE 2ND ONE WAS EASIER AND FASTER BUT IM GOING WITH ALL PREGNANCIES AND LABOR ARE DIFFERENT SO WHO REALLY KNOWS
It varies from person to person. My oldest is 19 yr old labor was 7 hours next is 13yr old labor was 6 hours 12 year old 4 hours and then my 11 wk old was just over 2 hours. but dont happen with everyone.
It depends on you. With my kids I was induced with both of them do I don't know. But my friend was overdue with her first and then when she had her second she was overdue and had to be induced. So I guess it just depends on when your body is ready.
That's what people in general said.
But my first was out in 3 hours, so I'd be surprise if my second can top that.
