How long was your labor during a VBAC?

Question

If you had a csection, then did a VBAC for your next baby, how long did you labor before delivering your baby? (And did you end up having a successful VBAC or repeat csection)
I had a breech first baby - no labor at all just a scheduled csection. I’m a great candidate for a VBAC for my second baby. I know everyone and every birth is different, but I wanted to get an idea on how long this labor could probably be given that it’s a second “birth” but first labor. 
Any tips for laboring as long as possible at home?

Answer

Hi! For my first VBAC, my labor was 31 hours, and it was a successful VBAC. My hubby was able to catch the baby too! I labored at home for 22 hours and when I went to the hospital, I was 8 CM dialated when I arrived. 
For my 2nd VBAC, labored for 45 hours, and it was a successful VBAC. I labored at home for 36 hours before going to the hospital. I would definitely do both all over again!

Answer

113 hours lol!  The first 72 hours I was having mild contractions but still able to take care of my toddler like usual.  Then when I would go to bed they would pick up and I would be like yes this is it!!! In the morning they would slow down again... it was so frustrating! 
I was at the hospital for 19 hours of labor until I had her.  It was a successful vbac!
