I experienced a precipitous labour with DD1 (5 hours from 1st twinge to birth, I dilated 2-10cms in 1 hour) and I'm almost at my due date for DD2. My first birth was really traumatic due to midwife treating me like I was being overly dramatic, when in fact I was in transition. Then as DD was in distress, big emergency button was pushed and I ended up with forceps and episiotomy.
I'm now only a few days away from due date with DD2 and starting to really worry about another traumatic super fast labour (also not making it to hospital in time). Can anyone else share their experiences of subsequent births when you had a precipitous labour? Any tips to help me feel less anxious??
