Forceps delivery first time - what about second?

[bun]

I wonder if anyone can reassure me about second labours when their first was induced? I had preeclampsia first time round, and had to be induced. The labour was very long and in the end, had to have forceps as the baby was OP and just not going to come out. I'm pregnant again and really hope to have a swifter labour, if I don't get pre eclampsia and it can all kick off naturally. Basically, I want to know if my first one "counts", as it was vaginal but assisted, and will help my second labour be swifter (although I know there are no guarantees!)?Any similar experiences?

You are right musica - the 'o' stands for occipito, so OP means occipito posterior. The occiput is the back of the baby's head basically, therefore the baby's back lies towards the mothers back.
If is right occipito posterior (ROP), the back of the head is facing the back right hand side of the mothers pelvis. LOP is left.
The ideal position for a baby is LOA - left occipito anterior. It can fit much more snuggly into the pelvis like that.
