VBAC

Induction and VBAC Question

Tomorrow I have a dr. appt.  My office schedules inductions at 41 weeks.  I will be 40 weeks Friday, so I am thinking they are going to want to schedule one to get on the calendar.  I know everyone is different, but what are the odds I will be able to have a VBAC if I end up needing an induction? I had to have a CS w/ DD #1 because her heart rate kept dropping.  Wasn't sure if that makes a difference.  I am hoping I will go on my own, but I want to be mentally prepared if I have the induction.  TIA

Re: Induction and VBAC Question

  • I was induced at 41 weeks with my VBAC and it was successful with no problems.  My c/s was due to DS going into distress (his heartrate went down and they couldn't get it to come back up). 

    I would have waited longer for DD to come on her own but my hospital didn't allow VBACs past 41 weeks.  I am grateful that I had the induction option because DD came out after only 30 minutes of pushing, so obviously her plan was to come out that way anyway and it would have been a shame to have to have major surgery for no reason!

    Good luck to you-- I hope you go on your own, but if you are induced, there is still hope!
