My second was easier, they were harder than the first but my whole labour was only and hour start to finish so they were bearable. I agree with some of the other ladies though, because you have done it before it doesn't seem as painful and that's just because I think some of the fear has been taken out of it the second time around.
I found the after pains harder to deal with. I woke up four hours after I had No2, with really bad after pains, and wondered what the heck was going on as I was sure I had had him. I got all upset thinking I had dreamed my easy labour and was going to have to do it for real.  I was only when Jayden cried a few moments later that I realized I had, had him. (No one warned me about the after pains)

It's the contracting of the uterus back to size, often does it while you are feeding (the feeding stimulates it).

my second birth was worse for me simply cos my waters broke first with paris, and they didn't with ayja so i had all that pressure to deal with and ow it hurt. plus she was mega fast and once waters broke i was ready to push within 10 mins, and 10 mins after she was out so i felt it was too fast and i was feeling really out of control with the whole situation, whereas first time i had been much calmer.
Afterpains with ayja definately had me taking full advantage of the panadols they offer you. with paris i was like "why? why do you keep offering me panadol, i don't need it"

Apparently it can get worse from baby to baby I haven't noticed much difference with mine - not the toe-curling stuff that others get. I suspect that if you don't feel them with #1 that you also won't feel much with #2. I take Panadol but that's cause I'm like, why not take Panadol? It's not gonna hurt the baby and there's nothing else I can do about it. But I only took the full Panadol dose on one day (the first or second day).

Borth was quicker....and I did it only on gas. Still hurts like nothing else in life but think you are just more calm (in general).
And yes the After pains were bloody awful...used to hate starting to b/f Blake cause felt like Labour pains all over again!
Was on constant Panadol and Brufen.
