going on day three, im having contractions every 2-3 minutes that last almost a minute and ive only made it to 1 and 60% effaced...has anyone else had VBAC success after this?
I am sorry, prodromal labor sucks. I was in it for a month, got to about 6 cms without going into labor (baby was breech) I haven't had a chance to vbac yet, just wanted to say at least you are having progress, that's always a good sign!
I did! I had a membrane sweep done after an NST at 41w0d, after dealing with nearly two weeks of stop-and-go labor. I also had 3 acupuncture sessions done just days prior. Consistent and painful labor contractions started the following morning. DS was born 35 hours later at 41w2d.
Do you have a doula? If so, perhaps she can help! If not, then try some of these out. My midwife and my doula both recommended this site, and I found nipple stim with my pump to be highly effective as well as the EPO and RRL tea. GL and hang in there!
