Anyone go into labor early with your VBAC?

bluejayway · January 2012

I had to be induced at 42+2 last time, and ended up with an EMCS after DD's heart rate plummeted and there was blood and meconium when they broke my water.

I am going for a VBAC this time. And I am totally ready to be done being pregnant right now. I can't imagine going as late this time. It feels like the baby's going to fall right out and I am way more uncomfortable. I know that really means nothing though.

I'm just curious if your second babies tended to come earlier, regardless of what happened the first time with actual delivery? I'm also scared of ending up with another EMCS. If I have to be induced, I'd almost rather schedule a c-section, but we'll just see. I have no issues with going past 40 weeks, but it'd be nice if this one came out on its own in good time.

*And by early, I don't mean I want to go into labor at like 36 weeks. Just earlier than last time!

I was induced at 41 weeks with my first (c/s) and I went into labor on my own at 39w2d with my second (VBAC).

My first VBAC was a week and a half later than my first delivery - had her at 40.5 wks. My second VBAC was only a couple days later than my first - 39w4d.

It really just depends.

With Ds, I went into labor naturally at 41 weeks 1 day (that ended in c/s). With VBAC, I was induced at 41 weeks and she arrived at 41 weeks 1 day. So exactly the same for both of mine.

I was induced at 39 weeks 5 days with first (c/s) and went into natural labor at 39 weeks with my second (VBAC).

I never went into labor with my first, but when he was c-sectioned at 39 weeks 4 days there was no progress whatsoever. I was like Ft.Knox

With #2, I went into labor at 39 weeks 6 days and delivered on my due date

I was induced with #1 at 40 weeks exactly. I went into labor with my second at 37 weeks.

Had a Csection at 40w1d with DS bc of cord and heart rate dropping

Had VBAC with DS #2 at 40w1d

Sounds like most of you did go at least a little early...very curious. Here's to hoping!

I had DS1 at 37 weeks 6 days and had a external version because we was breach and then ended with EMCS because his heart rate went down during the EVC. I was induced with DS#2 at 40 weeks and had a successful VBAC. I was already 2-3cm/80/-1 when I was induced though and it was a very quick induction.

I did. I was induced at 41 weeks for my 1st pregnancy and went into labor at 39 weeks exactly for the 2nd.

Noooo, I had DS1 at 41w1d (he was born the day after, though), and DS2 around 41.5-42 weeks (my due date was fuzzy, but he was definitely at least 10 days late).

c/s was at 41 weeks, VBAC was at 40 weeks
