Vbac with induction at 38 plus 5

[Georgieeb]

Wondering if anyone had been through something similar or had stories to share. I'm due to be induced tomorrow due to pre eclampsia but it's a vbac and all I keep seeing are stories where people have ruptured and had to be rushed off etc. I'm really worried about rupturing, especially because I'm severely anemic and at a high risk of bleeding too much. Has anyone been through the same or similar. Thanks advance, will really appreciate any comments ( good or bad).

@Georgieeb I have no experience at all, hope it will go well for you

Thanks for the comment ☺️ induction didn't go to plan and had an emergency section but that went well and baby is well also x

I was induced on Tuesday of this week at 38+3 for high bp. It took 3 x prostin gels before I got to 2cm and obgyn considered it ok to move me to labour ward to have waters broken.
Got onto labour ward at 2pm on 25th June, waters broken at 2. 45pm, contractions started to become stronger after that. Syncontin drip started at 4pm, epidural at 6pm and our beautiful baby boy was born at 1.28am 26th June. The hardest part by far was waiting for the prostin gels to take effect before going into established labour.

@Georgieeb congratulations
