I just thought I'd add that I didn't labour with my first at all either. Didn't think to mention that until I saw Trish had mentioned it...it was totally unknown which is why I think I was so afraid of the concept. I don't think they induce a VBAC anywhere as far as I'm aware cos as Trish said it's more intense. The other interesting thing with hypnobirthing is that what you perceive at the moment to be pain actually isn't...it's very hard to explain, but I actually wasn't in pain...I had discomfort but not pain.
