    It's not safe to give a VBAC'ing woman anything artificial that will strengthen her contractions. That will give you a rupture risk from induction plus the rupture risk from the scar. Hang in there!!!

    Hey Leesa,


    May I suggest a "pregnancy massage" - I had a massage at about 3 in the afternoon and went into labour in the early hours of the morning and got a VBAC (5 hour labour with minimal intervention)
    I swear it worked!!!

    If it doesnt do anything it is just lovely and relaxing too!!
    All the very best Leesa

    I know our situations are totally different but I remember feeling the same way as I approached and passed the 42-week mark again...
    I really hope that a combination of all your efforts (and bug removal) as well as our collective thoughts and prayers can get things happening for you

    Massage with Clary Sage oil?
    DTD?
    Do some full wiggly dancing? (Mel can talk you through that one )

    I'd be taking some evening primrose oil both orally and vaginally. Sorry don't have any VBAC info for you but wishing you all the best!

    Hot indian curry night perhaps too?
