I've heard that, usually, second labours are faster than first, but does anyone know if this is true for births after an emergency c-section. I had a c-section after fully dilating (took best part of 2 days to go from 2cm to 10cm) and then giving baby 4 hours in which to make his appearance.
If there is a second time for me I was hoping that it would be quicker but one of my friends recently disagreed because I 'didn't actually have the baby'.
Anyone know the answer, or anyone had a speedy VBAC?
