  • Can you get induced for a VBAC?
  • What about big babies? What questions should we be asking if we are being recommended to have an induction due to the size of our bub?
  • Can you just opt for an induction for any reason?
  • Are there different types of inductions?
  • Is induction more painful than natural contractions? 
  • Is there benefit after you get your waters broken, waiting a while to see if that puts you into labour?
