Induction for a VBAC???? Hormone drip and breaking waters....
Hi all Hoping for a little advice to calm my nerves...LOL!! I had a csection 4 years ago with DS, I am now booked in for a VBAC with DS2, had a membrane sweep today and if it doesn't work I have been told to go back next to be induced by breaking my waters and placing me on a hormone drip. I am petrified and was just hoping that someone who has had previous experience with this situation or something similar could shed some light on what I can expect? Thanks in advance xx

Your story made me feel much better I'm glad it was over quick, I know il be in pain but if it's as quick as yours was I will be very happy lol xx
Hi, I had the works! 4 days after my due date they tried to give me a sweep but my cervis was too high (was uncomfortable but not painful) then at 9 days late they tried again but nothing so booked me in for an induction. The day of the induction I was in onset labour but they had no room for me so I had to wait for the next day. Labour did come naturally but was taking so long so they broke my waters (very strange feeling but no pain) They found out that my baby had done a poop so they rigged me up to the hormone drip wich dramatically increased the intensity of my contraction and sped everything up! Unfortuately my body wasn't playing. They decided I needed a c-section and it was the best decision ever! After being in labour for over 38hrs I was nackered and was so thankful to the surgeon who said the words 'Zoe we will need to get you into theatre now'
What to expect....... truthfully I hated the drip. It made my contraction fast and hard but thinking about it this is what labour is! The only advice I can give you is to try and relax as much as possibly and keep an open mind to the other options to natural birth.
Hope everything goes well, Keep us posted! xx
