vbac

I was wondering if anyone has had heard of starting labor with pitocin for a vbac. My first vbac at the naval hospital they induced me with pitocin. My new drs office, I've seen 3 diff docs, one said no induction, the 2nd one said foley bulb or pitocin, the nurse practitioner doesn't seem to have an opinion one way or another. I have a very rare condition called ttp that could prevent my blood from clotting of I'm injured or cut so I want to avoid any surgery. What are yalls thoughts?

Ugh. So frustrating. My first vbac was so successful and so easy even with the pitocin drip. Now I have all these drs telling me different things. So nerve wrecking.

My doc said no drugs to help with the process during a vbac because the drugs can increase the chance of the uterus rupturing

My doctors office won't induce you once you've had a c section. Maybe in your situation they'd make an exception. Sorry I'm not much help!
