Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion normal delivery with previous history of caesarian might be possible in a few cases like:-
1)When the previous indication was non recurrent like breech presentation of fetus,any complication like high BP or any leading to emergency termination etc.

As per your information the cause for ceasarian appears to be failure of induction leading to failure of progress of labour.

In this type of condition the normal delivery can be tried but there are many other factors which can be taken into consideration.

They are :-
1)Atleast 2-3 years of gap from last pregnancy.
2)Was the surgery done in emergency or not.
3)Any signs of infection during healing.

So all the above factors are considered to know the scar integrity.

If the scar integrity is poor then it might lead to scar rupture during the labor process.

So I suggest you to get examined to know the scar integrity and follow your doctors advise basing on that.

Nothing to worry as such.
Avoid stress.

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
