Was your second labour faster??

I had a 9.5hr natural (drug free) vaginal labour and birth with DD including 2hr pushing stage.....I was pretty happy for my first bub that the whole experience was so short!
Considering DD was posterior the entire time until the pushing stage also, it was a short labour. I often wonder, had DD not been posterior, would the labour have been shorter!! Because they do say when a baby is in that position it does slow things down a bit.
She was posterior from when labour started up until pushing stage.
I'm this bub isn't going to be posterior. Apparently it's more common with first babies so that's good!

My midwife I saw last week told me to prepare for what could be a labour in half the time, so about 4-5hrs or even less.....it seems very common.

So was your 2nd labour and subsequent one's faster and by how much??

Thanks
My labour with Briley was exactly the same as your last. 9.5 hours with a 2 hour pushing stage. She was posterior also.

Labour with Colby was 7.5 hours with a 10 minute pushing stage.

I was full term with both labours starting of their own accord.

Second labours are generally shorter but again it all it depends on other factors such as Baby's position etc etc.
