Aw mama, I feel you, that must be frustrating, especially with two pregnancies na ganyan na experience mo. Honestly, from what you're describing, this sounds like something your OB really needs to dig deeper into with you, kasi persistent cervical firmness across three pregnancies isn't super common and there might be something specific going on (like cervical scarring, anatomy, or how your body responds to labor) na pwedeng i-address or i-plan for better this time.
One of my mum friends had a similar stubborn cervix and her OB recommended a different approach to induction at 39 weeks instead of waiting, kaya it might be worth asking your doctor what other options y'all have if labor doesn't start on its own soon, like maybe a gentler protocol this round. The good news is your VBA2C results have been really good, so your body knows how to deliver, it's just that cervix na ang kuyang makipag-cooperate! Don't lose hope, talk to your OB about a concrete plan moving forward, kasi you deserve better support this time around.
