Question about the labour after a FAST labour

[2girlz]

My first was 3hours 51 mins and my second was 7 hours 34 mins (I'm guessing this was due to her being back on back) because my first labour was fast All 3 of My mid wives were stressing to me that I shouldn't stuff around getting to hospital and call an ambulance if I feel things are going too quickly (even told DF what to do If I deliver at home)
so I guess the expectation from a medical point of view is yes the majority of subsequint labours are faster
my girls are 3 years 3 months apart

My last labour was under 2 hours and so Im HOPING this one will be quicker (although I too lost alot of blood). However my mum keeps reminding me how quick her 2nd was, and that her third was slower. Guess it depends....

My first labour was 3 hours 20 mins and the second labour was 3 hours 12 mins.
Guess I like to be on scheduale

You may be quicker or not but the pph is definately something to be wary of, friend of mine had very quick labours and pph's, by baby #3 she almost died, had to go into surgery to stop the bleeding and ended up having to have a hysterectomy, not that I am wanting to scare you, but definately something to be well considered.

Nelle I chatted to my OB at my 6 week checkup he told me that if I were to have another bub I would not nescessarily have another PPH.
There is a 1 in 20 chance of any PG having a PPH and having one previously doesn't mean you WILL have one again.

It's a scary thing to go through indeed and I understand why you'd be apprehensive about it

I was terrified of another retained placenta after I had Angus but have since had 2 bubs and the placentas fell out no probs. The PPH and retained placenta are unrelated happenings also.

My labours have also gotten a tad faster but I just knew when it was time for the last two.
3 years 2 months between A & C and 2 years 3 months between C & R.

My sister's 2nd bub was born in 1/2 hr. She didn't even realise she was in labour until bub crowned.
Her 3rd bub was born after 16hrs.

All my bubs have been around the same. DS1 7.5hs, DD 6hrs, DS2 - 6.5hrs.

Well my first bub was a 17 hour labour, horrible labour would not come down eventually did.

second was a 4 hour labour very quick hardly even pushed

and my third was 6 hour labour was horrible bled heaps too

Honestly i don't think that it matters what your previous labours were like i think that each one will be different just like the little personality that comes along with it :-)

Hope this helps good luck
