Delivery after lletz? Any difference from delivery b4 lletz? X

Hi
I've had 2 really long labours at 24hsr for dd1 and 26 for dd2.
I am terrified of labour this time as I was in agony for so long with both labours before!
I have had a lletz procedure in sept 2012 , just before this preg and had my cervix checked to ensure length is ok and it is in normal ranges.
Did anyone have long labours before the lletz and then a quicker labour after the lletz???? Did u think or get feedback that it was because of the lletz?
Just hoping really as I really want to go natural this time as. Caved and had the epi twice before and twice it didn't work properly ( only went numb one side, both times )
Thanks xx

It could go either way. I have IC because of my LLETZ. So I have a stitch to stop me opening but I have a friend who couldn't dilate during labor becuase of the scar tissue from the LLETZ. It could go either way for u. My midwife says it's pretty 50/50. Some go quickly because the cervix is weaker and some are the opposite. Just make sure u tell them when u get there that u had a LLETZ.
Good luck. x
