I have been a doula at three successful vbac's 2 of the women birthed like it was there second baby. One birthed more like a first but they were all beautiful, calm and in control. None of them used any intervention. The first two got to hospital late the other several trips over 2 days which I think played a part in her longer labour.

Like the wonderful Kristy14 I have had very different birth times birth one: 7hrs birth two: 2 hrs birth three: 10 mins birth four: 7 hrs. You can never guess what's going to happen.

Congratulations on picking your next birth. I am very sorry for the trauma you felt from your dd's birth.
