Contractions started shortly after, then I was given pitocin. DS was born about 12 hours later, at 9lbs 11oz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-induction-stories#post-2664015 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 23:13:20 +0000 shortcake 2664015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced for my Vbac. I scheduled it for 40+2. The plan was to induce me and see how i professed on my own. If it didn't work I would ed up a repeat c. It worked great. Contractions started within minutes of being induced. Happy vbac delivery a few hours later. Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-induction-stories#post-2663978 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 20:42:13 +0000 travellingbee 2663978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a vbac, just a regular induction.

My Dr suggested a foley bulb and light pitocin and it worked! Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-induction-stories#post-2663879 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 00:03:38 +0000 wheres_c 2663879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I'm 39.4 weeks pregnant and have been having contractions, cramping and pain for 2 weeks now.<br /> I am hoping for a VBAC and have the best VBAC doctor around as well as a doula.<br /> At my last appt, he asked when/if I wanted to schedule an induction. He left the decision up to me entirely, but said if I wanted one next week (40+) weeks, it would be best to get it on the hospital calendar as soon as possible.<br /> I scheduled one for next Wed but he thought there was a good chance I'd go into labor before then.<br /> Well I'm not optimistic about spontaneous labor before Wednesday.<br /> I'm second guessing my decision to schedule something, but this prodromal labor sucks.<br /> I'm currently 3cm, baby is low, cervix is posterior but thin and I'm having irregular contractions every 15 minutes or so.</p> <p>Anyone have any VBAC induction success stories?<br /> Any other thoughts/advice? </p>
