I had a gentle induction for a vbac. My dr had me get an epidural first and then inserted a uterine monitor up my cervix, which monitors the pressure of your contractions. He said it can give warning if there's a problem and helps save a lot of time if you do have uterine rupture vs waiting for baby to go in distress. My dr wouldn't give more than a low dose of pitocin, no cervadil allowed. Unfortunately I didn't progress and ended up in another c section, but I was literally zero dilated going in and baby hadn't dropped even though I was 39 weeks....but baby had to come out one way or another due to preeclampsia. That birth was 21 months post 1st c section.

I am 39 weeks this Friday and I most likely getting induced next week. I had a c section 19 months ago( Jan 18 ). I tried everything to start labor naturally but no luck so far. They want to induce me because I have GD, so scared but my dr and midwife told me it’s totally safe and not to worry. They want to start with foley bulb and low dose of pitocin.
