In response to women who have had cervical surgery such as LEEP, I have two
experiences as a childbirth educator. One mother had so much cervix removed
that every GYN or midwife who examined her commented. She had a shorter
than average, unmedicated, spontaneous vaginal delivery with her first and
a long early labor but rapid late labor and second stage with the second at
home. The other mother had a LEEP procedure and stalled at about 9 cm for
four or more hours with all three of her births, refused augmentation. She
had all three, allowing labor to progress at its own rate without any
problems.
