Lucky You!: Of course, rapid labor can be worrisome but it's not uncommon. Be prepared is part of the answer; making sure your clinician understands your concern is the 1st important part of planning. Often induction of labor prior to the due date is a reliable option. Wise parents train for unexpected birth and how to care for the newborn.

It's normal: It's normal to be a little nervous. Labor tends to come faster with each subsequent pregnancy. The more times pregnant, the more your body gets used to labor. It can be nerve-racking at times but also understand that you have more experience and know what warning signs to look for (regular contractions, breaking your water, etc).
