[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOly cow! Your docs let you go to 41 and 42 weeks with a VBAC?! That's great![/quote]

This isn't a "my doctor let me" in the sense that my doctor thought it was fine and encouraged me.  More like a "my doctor let me" while telling me that me and my baby were going to die and forcing me to sign a waiver to release him from liability.  At least there was no call to CPS.

OP, your biggest challenge is going to be finding a care provider who will let you go to 42 weeks, yes, even with a VBAC.

Your body was not ready to go into labor the first time around.  When were you induced?  What was your Bishop score?  Why were you induced?

If you stay with the same care provider and/or do not have some VERY frank conversations with them, you are likely to have a similar outcome.

Start explaining your plan very early on.  Make sure care provider is on board.

Also, it is likely that you will go into spontaneous labor sooner than you did with the first baby.  This works in your favor, of course.[/quote]
