is first born labor usually the quickest?

I heard the first born is usually the easiest birth. I was the first child, labor and birth combined for my mother was 30 minutes. My youngest siblings birth took the longest at 6 hours.

I hope the first isnt the easiest. I was in labor with my son for 31 hours. And waited almost 22 hours before getting an epidural. I hope when I deliver my second it doesnt take that long but I guess ill find out in october.

Sorry to say but your mum was lucky that's not usually the case usually the first is long war and second is half the time. Labour with my son lasted 25 hours I'm praying to god this one is no where near as long. Not to put you off he was back to back and took a long time to progress then 3 hours to push xxx
