Hi, my name is LeAnn. I have a 7 year old son and I am 7 months
pregnant with my second son. Maybe I just can't tolerate much pain but
I remember labor with my first son to be just horrible. I remember
screaming at everyone to give me some drugs! ;-) Labor and delivery
lasted about 16 hours from start to finish. My current doctor keeps
telling me that since this is my second child, labor will be much easier
and faster. For those of you who have given birth to two or more
children, how much truth is in this?

My first was about 31 hours, start to finish. It wasn't horrible as far
as pain went, but it was completely exhausting. The second was about 14
hours start to finish. It was *way* more painful than the first (for
just a few of the 14 hours) but was much easier because it was so much
shorter.
