I was induced with my 2nd lo after a previous transverse breech cs. I was taken in at 40+7 (I was checked/scanned twice during the previous week to check lo wasn't in distress) and given a pessary. They won't use a drip to induce you as the contractions it brings on are too severe. The first one didn't work so they tried again 18hrs later. This didn't work either and I was preoared for theatre as I had been warned might happen. I didn't mind either- whatever got baby out safely! I was strapped up to a foetal monitor from the minute the first pessary was given (and allowed to go to the loo 5hrs later but had to be back in a minute!) I didn't mind that either as an hourh or so after the first pessary they baby's hb disappeared and alarms started wailing. It was a false alarm (they think the baby burrowed way up inside me out of the range of the monitor!) and I was supervised for 3hrs after that to make sure all was well. I had my previous cs at 39+4, but they like you to keep lo in there as long as possible!

Hey hun, u shouldn't be induced if u have had a previous lscs (lower segment c section) before and theres research which says this as induction puts more pressure on the uterine scar tissue and theres an increase risk of a scar rupture so dont let them induce u lol. u wont necessarily be monitored through out ur labour. if everythin is fine through out ur pregnancy then if u spontaniously go into labour they wil check the fetal heart every 15 mins and do general observations on u every hour. Your community midwife will feel your tummy everytime you go see her and if she has any ?on babes being breech then options will be given to you. At this stage I wouldnt worry about it though. sorry if i have missed any questions, hoppe ive helped xxx

Can anyone tell me what to expect when coming to near term with a second baby after having a breech birth/ c section 3 years ago? 

I am 15 weeks pregnant and at my booking in apt i saw a consultant due to my previous section.  He told me that he will see me at 36 weeks to see if the baby is head down.  If the baby is head down then he said they will induce me at 41 weeks and if im suitable for a normal birth will induce me at 42 weeks and if im not suitable for a normal birth do another section at 41 weeks. 

but yet i had my previous section at 39 weeks? i dont get this.   i was a little bamboozled with all this and didnt really ask much about this.   i just thought that i wouldnt be given another section as it wasnt classed as an emergency last time. Can i ask for another section if i really want one?   has anyone done this?

As i havent given birth properly before i am a little worried about how i will be monitored etc.   has anyone found themselves in the same situation?  what happens?  what if i go into labour much before then, say at 35 weeks and baby is breech again before they find out?    i dont have any worries about trying a vbac but am just wondeting on how i will be monitored throughout the whole thing. 

any help would be great. and sorry for sounding so dumb! x x x x x
