My 2nd was definitely easier than my first. My first, after 12 hours all up, ended up in theatre with the episiotomy from hell under a general so I didn't even get to see DD for hours after she was born.

2nd was about 4 hours all up and nearly a water birth. I couldn't believe it was so quick in comparison. Only gas to push his head out and that was it.

3rd I was induced but still had a vaginal birth. It was harder as the contractions were so close together and much faster.

4th was an induction as well. Natural birth in the end but again contraction were harder and faster.

5th was a c/s due to pre eclampsia. I was scared witless as I didn't know what was going to happen. Harder recovery.

6th was a vbac and I was only in labour for under an hour before she was born. Luckily I have decided to not have any more as I would end up having it at home lol

Good luck with you birth.
