Will second labour be easier than a first that ended in EMCS?

I've heard that a second labour is often shorter and or easier than the first. I realise that won't always be the case but it does seem to get reported a lot. My first labour was 38 hours long. I got to 10cm dilated but ended up with an EMCS before I could push. Do you think the fact I've had a previous labour and dilated to 10cm would make my second labour easier? Thanks
