Hi,
If the contractions are increasing in intensity and coming more often than before, it is advisable that you visit the hospital and stay till delivery. As last time you had a quick delivery, it is likely that the same may repeat this time as well, especially since second labours are known to be quicker and easier than the first.
Hope this helps.
