i have heard that with the second birth you go into labor sooner then your due date plus labor is also faster..is there truth to this?what were your experiences?

This wasn't true in my case. No pregnancy's nor people are the same.
I have had four children. All in which the labor was about the same. My second was a still born baby girl. That I would have to be my hardest and longest one for many reasons. The obvious...and my bodies natural resistance to delivering a baby I knew was dead.
My last pregnancy, I had full blown cervical cancer. I not only carried her the longest, she was my smallest.
Pregnancies are never the same although some will see that there are a lot of mere coincident.
If you are expecting a second, I can offer some advice. Do a lot of walking. (Helps labor go more quickly) and always drink plenty of fluids.
I hope this helps. Take care and best of luck to you.

I had my first a week early. My water broke and 25 hours later I had a baby. I had a natural birth (no meds) and it wasn't that bad at all. My second baby was born 2 days early. I was in labor off and on for a week. I'd say I was in REAL labor for almost 40 hours. I had another natural birth but it was VERY painful. On the other hand, I pushed for 3.5 hours with the first and only 20 minutes with the second.

You may not necessarily go into labor earlier, but generally the progression of labor (ie: cervix changing and baby moving through birth canal) gets a little quicker with each delivery.
