My first was 39 weeks & 2 days. He weighed 6 lbs and 12 ounces.when I was induced I didn't have him until 60 hours later... it was horrible. And the only reason why I had a c section was because the cord was wrapped around him and his heart beat was dropping.

Normally they don't induce u if trying for vbac due to high risk of uterine rupturing.....

Was your first early or where you over ? My first was early but after 19 hours of labour I had to have a emergency c sec I am not fussed if I have to have another c sec but would prefer to have a vaginal birth. I am not a very big woman and my first only weighed in at 5pounds 12 oz and doc says that this bub is small also

I had an emergency c section with my first and I am 35 weeks and 4 days with my second trying for a vbac and my dr said she will not induce me with pitocin, it's too risky. She said she will let me go until 41 weeks if I am not processing on my own before or by then I will have to have a c section again.

I don't have personal experience but I have a friend who had a csection with her first And with her second, her doctor told her she could only deliver naturally if she didn't have to be induced because inducing after csections has too high a risk of complications. It might vary with different doctors though, I'm not sure
