Hi, a long one so I apologise! I'm currently 40 +4 with my second baby, my first was an emergency section at 38+1 after a failed induction at 37 weeks due to pre eclampsia. I stayed at 1cm dilated throughout the whole painful ordeal!! I was just wandering whether anyone had any positive birth stories for their 2nd birth as I have had a mw appointment today and my cervix is closed tight so she couldn't even perform a sweep. I have an appointment in 6 days at the hospital where I assume they will want to do another section which is the last thing I want with a 1 year old running around!
Firstly, is it a possibility to be succesfully induced following a c section? (I have a very negative mw!)
Secondly, Has anyone's cervix been closed prior to a vbac induction and they've had a vaginal birth?
And thirdly, has anyone gone from closed cervix, no signs of labour, to giving birth naturally?
I need some inspiration as I'm losing hope that my body can/will do what it needs to before my appointment next week and it's getting me down!
