Hi, just wondering about this really.
1st baby I got to about 5cm dilated before EMCS was performed due to fetal distress and me bleeding during contractions. I had been in labour since 5am on one day and had C-section at around 1am the following morning.
Everyone else I know who has had their 2nd baby (both 'normal' births) have reported back being in labour for much shorter time and not nearly as painful as first, seeing as their body had already 'done' it before.
I'm really worried that my body won't know what to do and it will either go on forever and end in another EMCS or worse some sort of awful vaginal birth leaving me horrifically damaged (I know, I know - I need to not read all the horror stories on google.) I'm due in 3 days and now wishing I'd gone for a planned section as then I'd know what to expect :(

Vbac experiences - after EMCS first time does body treat second labour as if it is first again?
