We have interviewed a few midwives and talked with several nurses in the course of my 12 weeks of pregnancy, and everyone keeps saying how much easier the second birth is. I'm afraid I'm getting a false sense of confidence about the second birth. My first birth was a 3 day induction for low fluid at 39 weeks (not my choice), so I really have no idea how my body would have responded naturally.
Was anyone's second birth harder? Are second births really that much easier statistically? I'm confused.
