I'm due 13th August with no2. DS was a very fast unplanned home birth and although I'd have loved a home birth this time, I can't because 3 weeks after DS's birth I had lung clots so I need to be in hospital in case I keel over minutes after giving birth (not that likely, but possible). Anyway, to make sure I'm in the right place at the right time I'm going to be induced and they'll be checking for a "favourable" cervix from 37weeks. I know that half 1st timer inductions end in Caesarians but my consultant tells me they're normally much more succesful for subsequent births. Is this your experience? Also, am I right to be wary of an early induction? DS was a week "late" and I'm scared of trying to force this one out before she's ready.
