VBACs and types of induction

I'm only 20+3 today, but am trying to puzzle out whether a VBAC is a good move for me, or if I should just go for another ELCS (first was 2 years ago, due to breech). Obviously the baby will decide what happens! But I'm due at Christmas, so if I decide to go for an ELCS, I'd rather make that choice sooner rather than later so I can at least try and plan around it!

I'm curious about people's experiences of VBAC situations, particularly inductions. What was yours like?

I don't think I'd be offered the drip for a VBAC because of the pain and potential for scar rupture. Is the pain similarly intensified if you're induced whatever the method? I.e. with sweeps, rods, pessaries, gels, etc.?

I didn't labour with my first, and the VBAC seems to be a different ballgame altogether, so I'm clueless! Thanks for the help!

Im commenting because I’m wondering this too. I’m 8 weeks and had my son via c section 7 years ago due to labour going on for 3 days. I really want to try and give birth vaginally but after last time I’m not sure that’s the safest way for me.
interested in other peoples experiences. ❤️
