If you didn’t labour first time, how long was your Vbac?

Yes! I had this exactly! First baby was breech so never laboured. Second baby successful vbac!! My labour was fairly quick I think 6 hours total! I did everything in the book to prepare!! Whether it worked or not I gave it a try! Had raspberry leaf tea everyday, a date smoothie everyday. Walked, went to the gym until 38 weeks. Had sex! But all of it was worth it for a vbac. I did go over to 40+6 (the hospital scheduled a repeat c-section for 41 weeks as I refused to be induced! Luckily baby came the day before! 😅
If you had a previous c section. They won't let you go over 12 an half hours of VBAC/ induced because of the risk of scar rupture.
Took a couple days.
Hard to say. I did labour to 4cm in my first labour and my VBAC still went on for 3 days 🙃
Had my VBAC 5 days ago. Contractions started at 1 in the morning ( could have been earlier but I was asleep and they woke me up ). They were quite mild until around 9am. I went to the hospital at 10.30am to be assessed. Midwife was going to send me home as I was only 1cm dilated. And then by 12 my waters broke 😂 was fully dilated by 4pm!! It was very intense as soon as my waters broke. Hardest part for me the pushing part, I pushed for 3 hours 🫣 but my actual labour time wasn’t that long and I did it unmediated so try not to panic too much about it!
My active labour with my VBAC (only got to 3cm before my section) was 4 hours and 46 minutes 😊 the bit getting to 4cm took a long time though 😂
