i was also induced with my first becky & had a similar labour/birth to you (without the transfusion or prolapse). this time i have sought the advice of an independent midwife that i hold in the highest regard & have talked through labour/birth second time round. i would encourage you to do the same as i have found it very helpful & reassuring - right down to if i am induced again. and maybe watch some videos such as ricky lake's 'the business of being born' - it's very informative & explains why an induction may result in intervention & complications that may not have occurred if a woman was allowed to go into labour naturally.
i would also talk to a doctor/midwife about the prolapse & any impact that may have on a subsequent birth.
i am a great believer that in most cases you will not grow a baby you cannot birth. there was a wonderful link on this forum to a site showing small/petite ladies giving birth to big babies. it is empowering to know that your body can birth a big baby (even though your first wasn't too big at all) despite what some obs may tell you. there are some great birth stories in this forum too that may help you reconcile yourself to whatever you decide is the right decision for you.
i wish you all the best with your decision![]()
