I think every pregnancy is different. Might be worth checking with your Ob and Hossy what the policy is on interferring with Labour eg: how long before they would say its time them to "help"

.....If they are choosing to go under the knife just because they don't want other intervention methods without first giving their bodies the opportunity to do its thing then I would be less inclined to listen to their advice.

Even though I had a positive c-sect experienced and healed really well, every pg & labour etc... is different. I would say from your first experience that bubs wasn't ready to be born & that is why you had a failed induction (I did too, hence the c-sect)
