    I read something recently about scar tissue on the cervix potentially being a factor that might affect dilation (from biopsies, infection s etc)...could that be a possibility? From memory the examples I've read, women stalled at a particular point in their labour each time (each had birthed a few times) - one woman had a MW that suspected scar tissue was the problem and massaged the cervix which broke up the scarring and the woman then fully dilated. Now I wish I'd saved it!!
