A member asked:
Is it true that labor will be faster with my second baby?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Usually labor moves along faster with each pregnancy, but that is not always true. If the baby is bigger or turned in an odd way labor could be slower. In general though labor is slowest with the first pregnancy.

See below: That is the usual wisdom. Though any physician can tell you exceptions. Please talk to your OB doctor about any concerns.
