I think that unless bubs is in danger the more intervention that has to happen, the more likey a c-section is. ( I had the whole works with my first...horror story....so I have been interested in the advice given in case I am brave enough to try again ...for a VBAC!) Fingers crossed, you have the birth thath you want!

Best wishes !

Hello I had a vaginal birth (never had a caesarean) and after much debate decided to break my waters DURING established labour - in my case that actually helped to speed up the process.  However it can be risky if performed when the head is still high up in the uterus.  If you are in Brisbane try talking to the lovely ladies at BIRTHTALK who do seminars on VBAC or check out BellyBelly to speak to a doula (birthing assistant) - they should be able to give you some excellent advice and support.  As far as suggestions to bring on labour s e x is probably the most effective if any, but you need to make sure that your husband is on top and that you raise your hips afterwards and let the semen sit around your cervix for a while so that it has time to work.  Basically semen contains prostaglandin - a natural form of the stuff they sometimes give you to induce labour.  However this may not work if the time is not right, just as the gel won't work either.  Let me know if this helps

They broke my water at 8:00 and pictocin was started. I alsted until about 12:00 and had an epidural placed.

Took a nap for a few hours and when the Midwife checked me I was all set to go. That nap did wonders for me.....aaahhhhh

DS was born at 4:40 p.m.

No complications at all....good luck.

The have found that there's a 1% chance of uterine rupture if you have a VBAC and most hospitals won't even risk  letting you try for it. Therefore they won't induce you but would rather you go naturally in order for the VBAC to occur. Good luck to Like you, I am trying for a VBAC for my second pregnancy.

HI Well i am a little different than the other responses i had my water broken with my last child,they broke them and i had my boy 40 mins later.I guess everyone is dif maybe my body was ready i was 4 weeks early two. Its your decision really so if you want your waters broken and put on a drip which helps even more than thats what you do. If its a serious medical reason that you have to have a c-section than i guess you have 2 but if not than you tell them what you want!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking the water doesn't necessarily speed up the laboring process either, nor stripping of the membrane. Unfortunately, if your body is not ready, then it won't be ready.

Breaking the water doesn't necessarily speed up the laboring process either, nor stripping of the membrane. Unfortunately, if your body is not ready, then it won't be ready. I've had this same experience during my last pregnancy - I had my cervix membrane stripped twice, a foley bulb to cause dilation, my water broken and pitocin to induce labor and I still ended up with a c-section. Many people will swear by different methods - having lots of sex, castor oil, eating spicy food, nipple stimulation but everyone responds differently to every method. They may or may not work for you. I wish you luck in the delivery process.

Ask about a "sweep". They disrupt the membranes( like an inturnal) and usually you go into labour within 24 hours. They did this to me when i was over due and it worked a treat. i just put this in your blog too. Ask about a "sweep".
