Induction after a C/S

[Mildez]

Every hospital is different. You wont go mad if breaking your waters starts off the contractions. Its only the waiting for something to happen lol
I know some women who have C/S for reasons like failure for the baby to descend are usually advise against labour due to the likelyhood of a repeat C/S but other reasons like a breech presentation they are more encouraging due to the increase likelyhood of a VBAC. Good luck. I hope you have a great birth experience regardless of what way it comes out.

Jess once they break your waters you need to keep active & try to get the contractions going. Walk around the hospital & things like that, it's supposed to really help the contractions start.

My suggestion would be to find out exactly what they are going to do at your next appointment, or maybe even ring the hospital tomorrow to find out what the plan is.... If you're not happy with it, you can refuse all of what they're planning or some. It's your birth, it's your choice. One of my midwives said to me (on the quiet) "you know sometimes people just don't show up for their induction & there's not a lot we can do but call & remind them."

would it be likrly they would tell me on the day, what is going on.

I had a successful vba2c after induction with a foley catheder, ARM and drip. My ob put the drip in and once contractions started he took it out!.
The only thing they can't do is use the gel
