Well technically I don't labour perse due to my not dilating until the last minute and not having exact regular interval contractions, but ignoring the 'text books':
DD1. No Prelabour. Hind Water Leak led to 4.5 hour hard, intense labour.
DD2. Small show. 12 hour labour (Including 8 hours of almost constant vomiting though that was a virus). All in all, (if it hadn't been for the vomiting) the labour was not as painful and intense as DD1's short one which felt like almost one giant contraction, so quickers not always better
