    Oh no I must have missed something! What cervix probs do you have hon? Even women who have had cervix surgery previously and even parts of their cervix removed have had successful vaginal births, from what the midwives tell me, it's often slower to dilate due to scar tissue, and patience is needed. Slower starts sometimes but all goes beautifully. I would definitely suggest chatting to a private midwife before you make plans so you are armed with some facts and experiences to get in the right frame of mind, and so hospital policy doesn't get in the way of you having a perfectly safe vaginal birth.

    Plan for a VBAC, or if you just plan for a c/s then you definitely will have one Surround yourself with the VBAC cheer squad to keep positive and see it's possible and yes, be conscious that it may happen but at the moment from your posts sounds like you are resigned to the fact you will have one.
