Does previous c-sec affect subsequent natural birth...?

I don't mean the small risk of scar rupture, but whether having baby number two by the traditional route would be any faster / easier if previous birth was via elective section.

Strongly suspect not but asking just in case!

every birth so different don't think would necessarily be faster or easier, sorry!
mentally better if it's your second as you'd kind of know what to expect, though,

I had a VB after CS and they said it would be like a first birth - but a little easier since the hormones etc had happened the first time round as I'd had an Emergency CS during labour (undiagnosed breech). It went just fine..

So I'm guessing if you had an elective with no labour, it will be like a first birth.
