I just gave birth to #2 and it was a longer labour! 14.5hrs (first one 9.5hrs) so in terms of time, I felt a bit disappointed it wasn't faster labour, however with a 10lb 6oz bub and shoulder dystocia and doing it natural, drug free, I feel pretty chuffed with myself so can't complain each experience is unique in itself.
Definitely dealing with contractions wasn't as hard and I knew how to breathe through them etc and pushing stage only 35mins this time around instead of nearly 2hrs first time!!

For me, this 2nd labour was the most 'mentally challenging' as I had some obstacles to overcome before I could give birth (ie being told bub was very big, becoming high risk due to that and warned of possible shoulder dystocia - which ended up happening!).... birth story to come if anyone is interested. Stay tuned
