I am 100% planning a vbac, however my doctor said we should think about when we would just do a c section because it will be easier to schedule it now than later and it's easy to cancel. I was wondering if anyone else had their MD schedule something just in case? If so when did you pick? I was thinking 42 weeks 1 day he was fine with this as a plan I'm just wondering if I should wait longer?
Mine didnt mention scheduling a csection at all, the plan was to induce if no baby by 41 weeks, the latest my hospital lets any woman go.
We never discussed scheduling, not sure if that is because DS came at 38 weeks.

I would do some serious research before allowing them to induce a vbac. My hospital refuses to use pitocin on a vbac bc of the increased risk of uterin rupture.

I actually already vbaced in January. I had done plenty of research and found in many cases, induction is a safe option for a Vbac, as long as the mother has had some progress. With my vbac, I ended up needing to be induced with pitocin, since my water broke and I did not go into labor.
We had a planned c section for 40 weeks, and little girl came via vbac a week early! I had a feeling she was going to come early, and I'm so glad she did!
I am hoping for a VBAC but scheduled a c-section for 39 weeks just in case I don't go into labor on my own
I would try to move that to at LEAST 40 weeks, if there is no medical factors. I did 39 weeks this with my last and ended up with a RCS. This time my RCS is set for 40 weeks, but I may change it if my dr allows me to go later than 40 for a VBA2C.
