I did, just a few days ago!
I'd been really keen to have a VBAC all the way through my pregnancy because my c-section was so hard. I developed an infection so I had a prolonged stay in hospital, I was bed-ridden when I got home and it was weeks before I was fully mobile again.
I was induced at 37+2 for suspected IUGR. My consultant was the opposite of yours and favoured VBAC over ELCS as a vaginal birth would be better for the baby's lungs. This was a clincher for me because my son spent four days in NICU after my c-section due to breathing difficulties and I was desperate to avoid a repeat.
In my case, I'd had an EMCS for breech and my labour was very quick - around 3.5 hours from waters breaking to being 8cm. As my consultant said, I "laboured well" so she was confident induction wouldn't be a drawn out process for me, which can put strain on the scar. I have a four and a half year age gap between my children, so my scar would be well healed. She also examined my cervix at my last appointment and said it was very soft and "amenable".
I went into hospital on Monday afternoon to have a balloon inserted to open my cervix but when I got there I was already 2cm dilated, so I was just put straight onto the list for transfer to the delivery ward to have my waters broken. I was taken down on Tuesday morning, waters broken at about 11.30am, then I was put on an oxytocin drip at 2pm (I have a thread about that here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/childbirth/3900262-Oxytocin-drip-pain-relief). The dose on this was kept as low as possible. The baby's heart rate was constantly monitored throughout the labour in case of scar rupture. By 7.30pm I was fully dilated (well, I think I was fully dilated long before that, but that was when they examined me!), then I waited a couple of hours on the advice of the doctor to get the baby as low down as possible before I started pushing (I'd had an epidural by this point). I pushed for around 45 minutes in the end and my baby girl was born at 10.40pm, just over eleven hours after my waters were broken. She was small but perfect, healthy, breathing well, and we went home the following afternoon.
I'm so glad I went for the induction. It was an amazing experience and actually very healing after the trauma of my first birth. I got a second degree tear which is sore but nothing compared to the aftermath of a c-section.
Everyone is different though and your medical team will know your situation and history best. Did you go into labour with your first child? How close is your body to going into labour by itself this time? Best of luck with whatever you choose.
