Second Back to Back Labour- was it any better?

[VanillaCheesecake]

Hello- due to give birth imminently (second baby)... baby firmly sitting back to back apparently. I'm doing everything I can to encourage a move, but if it's anything like last time, he's gonna come out this way.

My last birth was back to back and HORRENDOUS.

Am I kidding myself that the next one might be better???

Thank you Sootica that does make me feel better xx

My 2nd back to back was easy. First was 3 days long slow labour argh.

2nd was fast and spontaneous. Zero pain relief as so quick.

First one was horrific, traumatic, thought I was going to die. Second one was piece of cake - some gas and air and and I was up and about straight after. It'll be fine :)

Both back to back

Both back to back,second one much better. Good luck

Oh wow thank you this is very encouraging. Thank you for your replies xxx

Both of mine were back to back. According to the mws dc1 didn't turn. Ouch. No idea if dc2 turned as DH delivered her. Second one was less than 2 hours from the first contraction to out.

Both mine were back to back and labours were like night and day! First horrific, ended up with epidural, a cut and emergency forceps. Took me weeks, if not months to feel normal again.

Second labour was as long as first but managed it on G&a plus a shot
Of morphine. Was up and showering by myself 1.5hrs after having him and only suffered a small tear.

2nd baby was smaller but still in a rubbish position, my body definitely knew what it was doing 2nd time round.

good luck op, they do say 2nd births are generally easier and in my case it was- although I didn't believe anyone when they told me that lol!!

Two back to back labours here. First was long and agony-I was still having nightmares months later. Second was short and whilst still very painful, no where near as bad. Five hours from start to finish with no tears and a good,speedy recovery
