I would prefer my first over my second.
First was 11.5hrs latent phase before SROM and then 6.5hrs active labour.
The prelabour was more exhausting than the active labour because it wasn't really doing anything but it was uncomfortable enough that I couldn't sleep or rest efficiently.
When my waters did break I spent about 2.5hrs at home before needing to go to the hospital and even then, an hour at the hospital before I was feeling reaaly ouchy.

Second was 3hr45m from SROM but 2hr50m of contractions. The first twenty minutes were pretty weak but then I lost more waters and it was all over. If I had of waited home any longer I don't think I could have put myself in the car.
They were on top of each other from the second gush 2-3 minutes apart and I felt like I had no recovery time from them. There was no time to get in a labour groove... though I blame that partially on the process of home to hospital and then process of admission-assessment-birthing suite.

If family history is anything to go by (so far its been fairly similar) my next one will be under an hour and I am really not enviable of that thought. I would much prefer 6-7 hours!!
