Lime, there was a conversation started by my hubby a few weeks ago about my nervousness of another fast labour. Because of that Ob wasalittle more than insistant that at the 38/39ish week mark that we do an internal andif the cervix was soft and ripening then to proceed with a S&S or the cathedar balloony thing or one of the induction methods that are suitable for VBACers.

We don't live THAT far from the hospital 30 mins easy (20min if we need to) but he said because there is little to no mobile reception along our road (most direct route to the hossy as well) and because we are rural ie not so many passing traffic to stop an help, that it might be better to get bub out sooner rather than wait and potentially risk a roadside delivery.

As far as calling an ambulance, we'd almost be better off risking the ride in or delivering at home because they will call the closest available ambo to be dispatched and they could be coming from anywhere and not necessarily from our closest depo.

NO there are no medical reasons and I am now really worried that I am going to get stuck. I am actually afraid of labour this time because of the discussion Ob and I had ...... I really didn't want to know all the what ifs because there was not one positive one, and of course the closer I get to term the more its spinningaround in my head.

I know a few extra things will be going into my car as soon as I purchase them :-) I wasn't even this scared about DD's labour.
