Hi indadhanu,

I just had my VBAC yesterday & in the last few weeks were looking everywhere for positive experiences or any info that would help in a successful VBAC so wanted to share!
Did you take EPO and/or RLT? RLT tablets n liquid from acupuncturist from 32 weeks. EPO from 36 weeks (inserted n orally) was 3cm dialated at 38 weeks.
Do you think it made a difference? Def think EPO softened my cervix.
Were you having a VBAC? Yes! Emergency csection 16months ago due to baby not descending.

I went a week overdue. Contractions started 1030pm Sat night 5 mins apart. Then by 11pm they were 3 mins apart. Got to Hospital was 5cm dialated at midnight. Used gas til 2am then got epidural. They checked me just after the epi n I was 10cm. So went from 5-10cm in 2hrs. So had to wait 2 hrs for epi to wear off. Midwife didn't want me to push with epi as would tire me out, they don't like u to push for too long for vbac n thought it would def end in csection otherwise. Pushed for 1 hr but contractions all over the place. Dr had to cut me n use vacuum on last push n he was out at 5.31am. So 7hrs from 1st contraction but 2hrs of waiting for epi to wear off.

Good luck with ur vbac !
