What do they do differently if you are having your second child?

Is there anything different they do when you are expecting your second child?

No. If you had a quick first labor, they may tell you to come to the hospital sooner than the first time.

No but you do learn something new from each pregnancy. With my second, I wanted to go asap to the hospital once I got contractions because I was scared. With my last, I waited till I couldn't handle it anymore and then went to the hospital. 3 hours later, I gave birth. Trying to do the same with this one plus I want to go drug-free. Almost did with my last but that last hour was torture.

I'm 27 1/2 weeks and they haven't done anything different. I've actually had a little less care (fewer appointments) but only because we had a few complications the first time and none of that the second.

I'm probably going to go to the hospital sooner this time too simply because I had a quick labor with my first and it's my nightmare to give birth in the car or at home.
