Please tell me your 2nd birth stories.

I'm 28 weeks and was supposed to see a consultant yesterday to discuss my options....I ended up seeing some bloke that fobbed me off again with percentages of how 2nd labours are easier blah blah blah. He said I'll have to wait till 36 weeks 😩 which is making me panic and stress even more. I'm seeing my midwife Tuesday so will be discussing with her as she's been very supportive.

My first labour was horrendous and I'm absolutely terrified of giving birth again. So I wanted an ELCS but now he's made me question myself and I'm now panicking because I don't know what to do and I feel a bit forced into having another natural birth and I only stopped crying this afternoon since our appointment yesterday. I would love to give birth naturally but I'm just terrified!

So some 2nd time labour stories would be great please!! X

My 1st was an Emergency C-section without a labour at 36 wks.
Was not a very good experience. Put me off C-section.

2nd was a vaginal birth.
Was induced over 3 days due to high blood pressure at 40wks +3. Day day lucky labour started about 10 am. My son was born at 2.10pm that afternoon. So although 2nd pregnancy this was my first labour. My actually labour lasted 2hrs. It was anot amazing but painful experience. Am hoping for a vaginal birth with no:3.
