They say. . .

That your first child takes the longest to come and the time gets shorter and shorter with each child. That being said here is a good story. I went into labor with my son on October 25, 2012. I was admitted into the hospital at 4a.m. got an epidural at 6:30a.m. and he was born at 8:41a.m. being 6lbs, 11oz., an 19.5in. long. 4.5 hours of labor for my FIRST one. Today March 11, 2015. I went into labor with my daughter at 8:30a.m. got admitted to the hospital at 9:30a.m. had my baby girl at 10:09a.m. being 6lbs, 11oz., an 19in long. 1.5 hours of labor for my SECOND one. My babies don't play! When they wanna come they wanna come!!! Lol

Usually when this is said it's not about labor. Most first time mom's go past their due dates so the baby cooks a little longer
