I’m hoping for a vbac but haven’t been told I need a c-sec if I don’t go into labour before 41wks. What’s their reasoning for this?
I’m also going for a vbac and have refused C-section at 41 weeks. I’ve agreed to monitoring on Saturday when I hit 41 weeks. I went for a sweep on Tuesday and I wasn’t even able to get it done as my cervix was far back and hard (still 4/5 engaged too 🫣). It’s super deflating and it’s making me question whether my body can do it, it’s definitely a mental game now. Just keep pushing through and as long as you and baby are doing well, just means they want to be cooked a little bit longer. Xx
A consultant I saw at triage after my waters broken told me chances of me going into spontaneous labour are close to 0 (can't believe she actually said that) as she was pushing for induction. I declined, we got home and 1.5hr later my contractions started! As I believed, had my baby on my own terms ❤️🙏🏼 Only dropped while in labour.
