My second birth was a lot easier. Erin was my smallest bub at 8lb 8ozs but all of mine have had the same head circ. With #1 (9lb 3.5ozs) I had to push for 1.5hrs and needed an episiotomy, but Erin was only 15mins of pushing and I let my body do most of the work in getting her out. #3 was my biggest bub at 9lb 8.5ozs and only took 1/2hr to push out.

Erins birth was the easiest by far (had complications after having Paige) and I loved every minute of it. Second time around you are more aware of the choices you have and are more confident in what your body can do to birth a baby. I'm sure that this time you will be more confident and will know how to work with your body better to get bubs out.

Try to think positively about the impending birth and there are some great articles on here about optimal fetal positioning (maybe your first baby was not in the right position).
