is labor really easier the 2nd time around?

Im nearly 23 weeks pregnant and I have always beenso excited to give birth again but now its starting to come all back and im super doper scared/nervous. I didnt have the easiest labor, it was 50 hours long! For myself it was really painful and I was so tired after being in pain for so long. Is this baby going to be faster and easier? I know you dont know till it happens but what was ir experience?

It was for me, but it's different for everyone.  My midwife says it usually gets easier & quicker with each.  I had an emergency c section with my 3rd, I'm planning a vbac with this one. My dr jokes that she might not get there in time to catch because the 2nd came so quick.
