2 inductions and 3rd spontaneous, anyone?

Morning all :)

I was just wondering whether anyone that has had 2 prior inductions has gone on to have 3rd spontaneous birth?

I am just over 35 weeks pregnant and feeling resigned to the fact that this one will
likely end up in an induction also, but I just want to cling on to that last bit of hope that I may finally have a spontaneous birth.

Thank you for reading :)

I did!

First was induced at 40+3 for reduced movement

Second was induced at 42 weeks due to being overdue. I was already 4cm dilated though (although had no idea about this at the time) so all they had to do was break my waters and it all started quickly after that.

Third was spontaneous at 39 weeks. Really took me by surprise as I’d have never thought I’d have a baby before my due date and had never gone into labour naturally before.

good luck, hope it all goes well!

Thank you for replying 😀 it’s reassuring to hear that it’s happened to someone! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for one 🤞🏻
