I'm STILL not ready for labour (according to an internal exam) and my cervix is "not doing anything" apparently.
Yet, still I was scheduled for an induction on Monday morning at 7:30.
There are a few things that concern me with this....
1. http://www.mother-care.ca/bishop.htm Dr.'s use this method to indicate whether induction would be successful or not....
I've highlighted where I think I'm at....so that gives me JUST a score of 5...not entirely favourable for induction....
2. A number of studies have found that induction or acceleration of labour in mothers attempting a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) carries an increased risk of uterine rupture. Other studies found no such link. So, which one should you beleive????
3. If I end up with another section, that will be the way I deliver for the rest of my child-bearing days....that scares the crap out of me. My experience with the twins was not a pleasant one and I don't know why in the world anyone CHOOSES to have a section if it's not medically neccessary.
So anyway, PLEASE send me some "cervical change" vibes lol...I will feel MUCH better about the induction if I have made some progress in that department...ideally I'd LOVE to go into labour on my own before then...but if I have to be induced I'd like it to at least have a fighting chance at being successful.
