Who has had a previous shoulder dystocia, and then an induction of labour?

Hi ladies,

Is there any of you that have had a prev shoulder dystocia then an induction and a normal vaginal delivery?

Thankyou xx

Sorry, I did not have an induction after my shoulder dystocia. I was recommended to go straight to ceseaerean if for some reason induction was required, as induction raises repeat risk of dystocia (and if you've had a previous true dystocia your repeat risk is already as high as 40%). Fortunately I had natural labour with at 41+ weeks (with mild dystocia again).
