VBAC after failed induction

I had my first baby end of 2023, went in for induction at 39 + 6 weeks due to high amniotic fluid levels but induction failed and labour never started so ended up having a c-section at 40 + 3 which all went smoothly. We’re now starting to think about baby number 2 and I’m very keen to try for vbac, has anyone else had a similar experience and had a successful vbac? I absolutely will not be having another induction as it was an awful experience and I feel I was slightly pressured into it by the hospital, I’m convinced if I’d just let baby come naturally things would have been fine so hoping for this experience 2nd time around, any positive stories or advice would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
