I think each child is different, i DID get some pain with DD and still had to work on attachment, my biggest issue was remembering she was a newborn and had to learn to feed, i was so used to DD1 attaching and just 'knowing' what to do IYKWIM.

All i can suggest is this time round ask, ask and ask again while your in hospital.
A midwife actually said to me a lot of 2nd time mums have more trouble because they were so used to having a kid who can just attach themselves.
