I've been lucky so far! Even my posterior baby was quick. (which often lengthens labor significantly because of the unnatural positioning and the increased discomfort)
My midwife made me squat through the entire labor though - and I needed 4 stitches because he flew out so fast! I'll never squat past transition ever again!
Seriously, though, every labor is totally different. Even with my pretty steady patterns, I worry that this will be the labor that throws me a curve ball. I still get stage fright, this late in the game - and end up wishing that the baby would come NOW and NEVER at the same time.
