How much preparation did you do for a 2nd hypnobirth?

So I'm 35 weeks with dc2 and I thought I ought maybe to think about the birth a little bit.
Dd came at 42 weeks. I had prepared with the hypnobirthing book and CD and managed an 8 hour labour at home with TENS and birth pool. I think the relaxation, visualisation and breathing made a massive difference to my ability to cope.
I feel pretty chilled out this time and am wondering how much effort I should put in to prepare the hypno stuff again. Will it all come back to me without much effort or should I be doing all the CDs, visualisation and breathing prep with my DH again?
Anyone got any experience of doing it twice using hypnobirthing? Did it go as well/better/worse the second time?
Thanks.

Thanks Annakin. I feel so unprepared this time, again due to toddler and to trying to get loads done at work before leave. Hopefully I can get a bit of practice in in the last 3 weeks before due date, when I'm on mat leave.
