A member asked:

My last baby i had a long labor what positions will help this time to make labor faster?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

It will be faster: Second labor is likely to be faster. Position is not likely to make any difference. You should discuss your concern with your obstetrician.
