I posted a similar question earlier this week but Has anyone been induced with a ‘very unfavourable’ cervix? I am aiming for a VBAC, had a consultants appointment today and they have decided to induce me next week. Tried giving me a sweep but cervix still ‘very unfavourable’. Just wondering what the chances are of successful induction or if anyone has had similar experience. Nervous as I had a EMCS following a failed induction with my son x

Hi, I've tried for VBAC but baby had other ideas (unstable lie) I'm confused as to why they want to induce when baby is 8lb? Bare in mind growth scans are unreliable especially the further you are into pregnancy. Also don't forget you can decline induction, but I would definitely be questioning the consultant.
Oh thank you I will take a look now.
They are inducing as concerned baby’s growth is stalling (even though he is 8lb)! The consultant who has booked me in for induction isn’t my actual consultant she was just on call so I’m not sure how comfortable I am with it! X
I was with my first and it ended in a section. I'm trying for a vba2c in December but both me and the consultant have agreed no induction or sweeps, etc unless medically necessary. Is there a reason for induction? I'm in a VBAC support group on Facebook an there's loads of helpful advice on there. Would definitely recommend. It's called 'VBAC SUPPORT GROUP UK'
Has anyone tried evening primrose oil to start soften they cervix ? My sister did it and she had her baby this morning at 39 weeks
AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing x
Has anyone been induced at 38 weeks and baby came without c-section... ive had 2 inductions but at 39 weeks 1st one took 48hrs 2nd one 6hrs but thinking 38 weeks are too early
for you mommy's asking 39 weeks is the NATIONWIDE standard for induction you can ask to be induced at 39 weeks if B makes it to 39 weeks I will be induced
As someone who has had a natural birth and a medically induced birth, I can't possibly understand what the appeal is in being induced. Especially if you haven't even hit 40 weeks yet. I was induced on the exact day I turned 43 weeks with my 2nd child. The only reason I was induced was because I was 43 weeks and not dilated, not effaced, and my cervix was hard as a rock. I'm here to tell you induction is not a walk in the park. Inductions tend to be longer. My first labor was 6 hours, induction w...
@nat_ it's so tough as different consultants give different advice and some are really pro VBAC whilst others seem to want to intervene just because of previous section. Maybe call your midwife and say the concerns and ask if you can discuss with your actual consultant. I'd never go against medical advice personally (only mention as a lot of women trying for VBAC do have to challenge those not supporting their decision) BUT I definitely think it's worth querying and asking for second opinion. Good luck lovely x
