Induction and VBAC? High risk PG and I'm very nervous

Has anyone had a positive outcome with induction and vbac?

I was nervous about a vbac but now they have suggested possible early induction due to babys large size.

High risk due to previous PE and pregnancy meds (heparin/asprin for clotting issues)

Any advice/words of encouragment?

I was induced with DD3, though I had had a previous VBAC with DD2. I had an epidural and synto drip. It was without question the best of my three births. I dozed through the contractions until I started to feel the need to push. The MW checked I was fully dilated, then I started to push. After I delivered DD3's head, I reached down and caught her under her arms and pulled her out the rest of the way and up onto my chest. Where she promptly weed all over me Grin

I can't help you with their reasons for induction - I was induced because of a health issue with DD3 herself. Best of luck with it - induction does not need to be a negative experience.
