First check-up:Part 2

During my first check-up, DrS asked how long my first labour took. I told her, all in all, about 14 hours. Used Demerol for about 7 hours, then epiduraled the second leg. She warned me that this next one may probably take half the time, barring complications. And I will also be pushing for half the time. I told her I only pushed for 23 minutes. She was rather surprised, and told me that I should expect to halve that for the next one. Wow, I thought, 10 minutes...that's great. What if I felt like having a poo during labour? She told me "Oh, we'll definitely be watching you". Reassuring, but creepy...
