@Roisin Hey, thanks for the reply :) Sorry to hear your first wasn’t great. i’m just looking to get people’s experiences of VBACS at Coventry.
@Victoria oh my gosh my bad I totally misread. I hope you get some answers on here!
@Roisin No worries. Thanks 🙏
Hiya, I had a vbac at UHCW 15 months ago. Had a planned section 4 years previous with twins, this time I ended up being induced at 39 weeks due to reduced movements, had the balloon inserted which helped me to dilate however no contractions started. I had my waters broken and was allowed time to see if anything would happen on its own which unfortunately it didn’t so was started on the hormone drip at the very smallest amount which kick started my contractions. My little girl was born within 3 hours of starting the on the drip x
@Morgan Thanks, that’s really helpful! How long were you in?
@Victoria i was admitted on the 28th September and she was born early hours of the 1st. I was home within 12 hours, would of been sooner but the doctors had lots of emergencies that morning so took a while to come round to discharge us xx
@Morgan Hey, that’s kinda what i expected, need to potentially prepare myself for a few days.
Induced with my first and it wasn’t good but I will say it was in the height of Covid. Aso induced with my second, they wanted to move me to George Elliot for staffing reasons but I refused. I would have been open to it if they’d had suggested before but not hours before I gave birth. The midwives are lovely. Both of my labours and births were in labour ward.
