VBAC induction

in Labour & birth
Hi,



this is my 5th baby & ive had 3 previous normal births (2 inductions) & with my last it was a section due to him being breech. I also developed Gestational Diabetes with him. Id really really prefer a VBAC this time around but firstly i only ever went into labour naturally once but that was about 40+4 so overdue, the other 2 times i was induced 10 days over. Its quite likely ill develop GD again & with that I know from last time i will not be let go over at all. Theres little chance of me going early with my history so my question is this - will i be able to try for a VBAC or will they refuse seeing as induction with VBAC is a no no using pitocin or perhaps they would let me get the gel @ 40w to see would that kick it off?



Has anyone any experience of this or similar?



thanks gals.

    the GD would probably complicate the decision, i was told if i went over they could use the pessary if i wasnt dialted or break my waters if i was to start things off, i suppose as long as the baby is ok you could request to be left until term,

    My Hospital wont use any form of chemical induction. What they have planned for me is a sweep at 5 days overdue, then if nothing kicks off naturally, they will try and break my waters at 10 days over. If that isnt possible, or doesnt work, then it will be a C-section. so you could ask for sweep and water breaking. It is totally your desicion xx
