I never had this feeling and for having so many kids is so strange I should now my body by now maybe is my age all my kids were two weeks late and one right on time so I'm scared not to make it to the l & d on time
My first labor was 4 hours (start to finish) second was 2 hours and third was 9 hours, but I had complications with number 3 and had to have a c section, don't know if he was in a weird position or what but the third labor was a whole lot easier then the first, less intense and a lot less pain aside from the emergency section.
That's what mine are longer but I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and having lots of presure down there
Generally each labor is shorter, however each of mine was longer than the one before. Every baby is different & every labor is different.
