i had retained placenta, 2 x blood transfusions and 4deg tears with 1st labour. As u can imagine i was petrified of labour #2. As it happens it went so amazingly fast i had her in the emergency section of the hossi - no time to make it to the mat. ward.

i think i had a diff mindset too.......i.e i was more prepared, and focussed during labour with #2.....
