I had a failed induction resulting in an emergency csection in December 2016* and am now pregnant with baby number 2 due July...
I’ve got a midwifes appointment tomorrow to discuss my birth plan and I really don’t know what to do. Part of me would rather get it over and done with and go for an elective csection rather than spend 5 wasted days in hospital before delivery but then the other half of me really wants to have a natural birth and have that experience!
Does anyone have any personal experiences of a VBAC or what they were advised to do?
*birth details: I went through the induction process for 4 days before they were able to put me on the drip and break my waters. I over contracted but stopped as soon as the drip was stopped, this went on for about 12 hours before babies heart rate started to drop with contractions. I only made it to 3cm dilated and then “got stuck” at 3cm until I went to theatre!
