Induction with first DC, does that make it inevitable for second?

I had to be induced with mt first DC as my body just did not want to go into labour (cervix was firm and closed, baby's head wasn't engaged etc at 41+5). Now I'm 37 weeks with my second, and I'd really like to avoid another induction (the first was pretty awful). In your experience, if you need to be induced with your first does it make it more likely for your second?

I was induced with DD at 41+3 weeks. Went into labour naturally with DS at 41+2 weeks. I was so pleased to go into labour naturally the second time. Hope it happens for you.

I was induced at 40+10 with dd, and it ended in an emergency c-section. Then I went into labour with ds at 39 weeks and he was born 7 hours later after an easy labour. So it might be more likely but it's certainly not inevitable.

Induced with dd1 at 40+11. Went into labour naturally and had ho
e birth with dd2 at 39+3. So no, not inevitable. Good luck!
