ECS after failed induction- next birth?

Anyone had a ECS because of failed induction then went on to have a successful natural labour after?

I had to have ECS 7yrs ago as my induction failed. Now pregnant again and I'm wondering has anyone had ECS because of failed induction but went on to have a natural birth next or a induction that went okay following?

Really dont want another section would love a natural birth but chances are I'll be induced again and with one already failing will they let me try again or will I have to have a planned section

Thank you x

This is a new pregnancy and there’s quite a gap since your last one.

A lot will depend on why you were induced last time. 1 induction doesn’t mean you’ll have another one.

1 failed induction, doesn’t mean a second won’t work.

You can always opt for a VBAC but refuse to be induced and have a planned section instead.

I’m pregnant with second baby and have requested a VBAC. They make an appt for you to go through what happened last time, any risks this time and to talk through a VBAC plan. I would wait for that appt as it will be unique to you and go through your notes etc
