VBAC - hospital won't let you go past 41 weeks?

[olek]

Hospital seems to be indicating they won't let me go past 41 weeks for a VBAC. Meeting them in two weeks, when I will be 40 weeks to discuss it. Have searched on the web, but can't seem to find anything on it.

My friend just had c-section at UCH (where I will be) and they have said the same thing to her about their policy.

Anyone heard of it? I want to be prepared when i talk to them.

thanks!

I am a bit hopeless, but have finally remembered to check how things went for you Belated congrats on the arrival of your son and happy everything went well for you (apart from the stiches...)

olek,

if you are still checking this thread I would love more details. I'm due at UCH in May. First baby was emergency c/s. Still dithering about next one. Any specifics, even smallest details about when you went in , who you called before going in, did you have lots of changes of midwife, can you recommend a consultant etc would be appreciated since I switched to UCH late (20 weeks) and know very little about it. Have only had a booking in appointment so far so haven't spoken to anyone about delivery yet (I'm 28 +4).
