A member asked:
Is it true you can be induced with a vbac?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physiologically,yes: Physiologically, oxytocin Rx can induce labor in pregnant patients who are near term in their pregnancies. However, VBAC is very controversial as to whether a OB MD should do so due to the chance of catastrophic uterine rupture from a previous C/section scar. Many OB MD's will not induce a patient under those conditions.
