i can speak from similar experience. i had most of my cervix taken out in leep and paps after were almost impossible for the doctor, and when time came for labor, i started perfectly and should have had my 2nd in few hours. 20 hours later i was still a dimple. finally, the pain was so exhausting and the contrax on top of each other, a backup mw came and had long fingers, better able to feel the scar. So she got EPO and massaged during the contrx and i dialated from 0-10 in 40 mins and pushed for 25. it was horrible pain and would have been done a lot faster had the mw been more experienced. but really, that pain was the worst in my life (1st baby was induced w/ no pain med), but it was worth not being at the hosp and not getting a c-section. the baby was perfectly healthy but did have a conehead.
In my 2 births after, no probs at all. i go very quickly. still use epo at end to soften the cervix.
