I had an emcs with DC1. He was facing sideways so in a very bad position. After 24 hours active labour I was 9.5cm dilated (according to my notes) when his heartbeat disappeared and an urgent emergency c section was performed within minutes (thank goodness our doctor was on the ball!). ive heard that second births r usually quicker but not sure if this applies seeing as I had emcs. Does anyone know if this applies to vbac too or anyone who would like to share their vbac experience? If it's gonna be another 24hour+ job I better get psyching myself up now! Tbh I find the whole thing very scary!
