Big Babies, Inductions and Being “over-due”

To kick off this third episode in the VBAC podcast series we are pulling apart the research and discussing all the topics of big babies, inductions and going over-due and how they relate to vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC).

In this episode I chat with Julie and Meagan from @thevbaclink about:

  • Does having a “big baby” reduce your chance of VBAC?
  • How accurate are ultrasounds at determining baby size?
  • How to help women feel more empowered about birthing a larger baby
  • Are inductions safe for a VBAC?
  • What are the different methods for induction for VBAC?
  • What does the evidence tell us about going “over-due”?
  • What are the risks associated with going beyond 40 weeks
  • Does having a longer pregnancy affect your chance of a VBAC?

I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!
