My first was only around 12 hours established labour (so not really long), but my 2nd was only around 2 hours of full on labour. He was also a lot bigger (almost 11lb v 8lb 4). DS was just in an awesome position, and i was able to move around alot more. My first, DD, was born posterior.

At the start of DSs labour, i struggled because i thought 'i can't do this for another 27 hours' because i thought i would have a long labour (as i had syntocinon with my first), but when i realised that things were going a lot quicker i was able to focus and cope alot better.
Thanks, that is exactly what I want to happen.
