I'm 36+2 (so still early days) but baby is free, floating around however he is still head down. This is my third baby, and the third time I have planned a home birth.
My first I was induced using hormone drip (after 3 failed attempts with gel) at 40+12. 5 hours later 3-4cm, water's broken by midwife, DS born 1 hour 45 minutes later. No medical reason for induction, just due to being past my dates. This was 2010.
Second, I was induced at 40+9 due to reduced fetal movements. No gel/drip, was already 3cm (no idea, no pain) so midwife broke water's. Again, 1 hour 45 minutes later DD was born. This was 2012.
My question is, has anyone been induced twice or more and then managed to go into labour naturally? Also, can you go into labour naturally if baby isn't engaged? Both previous have been engaged from 32 weeks. I just really want a home birth, this is my last baby and will be devastated if I don't at least get to try. Please somebody give me some good news lol x
