Natural Birth

I am looking to try natural birth. I am a first time mom. Just want to ask mommies to share here: 1. How long did you take from water break to giving birth for your first child? 2. I heard 2nd onwards are easier and faster. Is that true? 3. Is it possible to do without epidural? Or it depends on individual pain tolerance level? Thanks 🙏😊 #firstbaby #pregnancy #advicepls

My first took 4 hours. My second was 1 hour. I took epidural for both. But for my second, it didn’t really work cos I was dilating too fast.

Yes.. it’s really quite fast. The nurse did tell me for my third.. it could be even faster so I am a little worried too. I am not too sure but my work does require me to walk quite a bit. 😬 My gynae gave me 2 weeks HL to rest when I was 35 weeks but my amniotic fluid was Low by 37weeks plus for my first pregnancy and my cervix dilated 2cm by 36weeks plus for my second pregnancy.
