Everyone tells me that second births are much quicker & easier than first births.What do you all think & what were your experiences?
The reason I ask is that with DD,my 1st baby,from show to actually delivering her I was only in labour for 4 hours.It would have been a lot quicker if I hadn't been so rubbish at pushing.Even so,I didn't even have time to unpack my bag before she arrived.
The midwives told me that if I ever had another baby,I should camp out in the hospital car park 6 wks before hand to be sure of getting there in time.Therfore,as I am due in June,I'd be interested to hear if it is always the case of 2nd babies arriving faster.
Thanks.
