Hi ladies I'm currently pregnant with my 3 rd and final baby, I'm a little tense about labor as my sons(vbac) (precipitate labor) was literally 1 hr 26 mins from first twinge to his arrival did anyone's next labor become quicker and what was your plan of action ?

Have you discussed this with your doctor? A friend of mine had a very quick labour and delivered in the hallway at home for her 1st. The second she was monitired more often by Drs for any signs of labour and was admitted to hospital before contractions started.
I think it will also depend on how close you are to hospital etc.
Ha! My second baby was born 1hr 25 mins after my waters broke. How close! Second stage was only 4 minutes.
You cannot truly prepare for birth because you never know whats going to happen. For my first birth, the hospital wouldnt allow me to come down for hours! If I did the same with my second, I would have given birth at home and had a Post Partum Haemorrhage.
Due to that, whenever my next babe is born, I will be off to the hopital at first sign of labour. I cut it so fine with my second, only just made it. Was also pulled over by Police on the way for running a red light and speeding!
Hahaha don't risk it and good luck x
