Delivery Csection or Normally

My 1st was born c section, my doctor says I will have a csection again this pregnancy. Has anyone had csection 1st time and the baby come normally the 2nd time ? My 1st born I only dilated 1 centimeter in 24 hours and the baby's heart rate started to drop due to no more room 4 baby and i was 8 days over due so I had a emergency csection. I'm wondering if this time the baby could come normally before the planned csection??
