As my due date appraoches I am naturally thinking about labour etc. I had a bad one with my son, 17 hours, first part progressed quick then he got stuck at the pushing stage for hours & I had to be cut & have vontouse which took forever and almost didnt work, then after doing it all on gas & air I had to have a spinal afterwards in order to have the placenta removed as it was retained. I am aware this is mild compared to other stories but it was horrific at the time & although I feel I have mentally prepared myself for labour I just wondered if anyone who has done it more than once could tell me if it's true about the 2nd being quicker / easier? I know I am looking for hope when I should just deal with it but its worth a try
Thanks
