Just wondering if anyone can share with me your experience birthing after a big age gap.

It has been 11 1/2 years since my last VB & 7 years since my last labour (I laboured for 8 hrs before an emergency CS)

I know generally speaking subsequent labours are easier & shorter, so I had just kind of figured I might get lucky & have a labour like my second. But that was only 2 1/2 years after my first, there is a much bigger age gap this time?

Does anyone know if this makes a difference? Am I back to square one? Or can I hope for another great labour?

Thanks
