Second baby !!! Advice on labour

Looking for some advice 

I’m due my second baby in 1 day I had my little girl last April so very short time between having them both.. I’m so so nervous 

My first labour was so long .. took nearly 72 hours from 1 to 5 cm then 5cm to baby in arms 19 hours .. with 2.30 hours of pushing .. baby wouldn’t come down so needed forceps .. I also had an epidural in the end as I was so tied and needed a rest not to mention the pain (obviously lol ) I did feel the need to push much later on when the doctors were  getting the tools ready to use to help the baby out ..!! So I don’t know weather they made me push to early  and I wasn’t ready ?? 

She was born 8lbs 12oz so rather big .. I recently had a growth scan at 32 weeks and baby was measuring 4lbs 13oz .. I’m just scared I’ll not be able to push baby out !! Will he be to big !! I have so much anxiety this time round 

Please share you stories looking for some positive advice
