hi hun
my 2nd labbour was longer, but 3rd was quick. as for weight they went up and down.
i have 4 children 1st child was biggest and 4th was smallest.
so i guess not always the case although some 2nd labours are quicker.
good luck with yours

im on my third baby my first was 6lb 6oz and ten and half hour labour, my second was 7lb 1oz and 5 and half hours, i was home next day after second doing the housework, felt like i had done nothing and all visitors kept saying r u sure u have just had a baby lol. so i hope this one is quicker than second,

im on my 4th baby and my labours have got quicker but babies have got smaller so far first was 7lb12 second 7lb9 and third only 6lb5 so dont think you can judge it really each women is different just depends on ur body and wat it wants to do gud luck x

Hi, ive had 6 children and my labours and weights have been.....

2nd 13 hours 6lb 4 1/2oz (baby lying back to back)
3rd 3 1/2 hours 5lb 3oz
4th 1 1/2 hours 6lb 3oz
11 year break then
5th 5 hours 6lb 3oz
6th 1 1/2 hours 6lb 3oz

I remember saying to my mum on my 2nd pregnancy that it should be easier, and she said that it wasnt entirely true, the difference she said, was you will now what you are doing better. the way baby is lying and whether your waters break quickly all contribute to how quick your labour will be. i mow practise OFP (optimal fetal postitioning) which means being on all fours twice a day for 15 mins in the last week or 2. it encourages the baby to lie properly for the birth. my midwife advised it after my back to back labour. good luck x
