Induction and vbac a

I was reading that it is a myth that once you are induced that you are more apt to end up with a c section have any of you ladies been induced and had a successful vbac?

My doctor's office won't induce after you've had a c section. Either go into labor on your own or another c section is in store.

I was induced dialated to 9cm an stopped with my first pregnancy and ended up with a csection an since that happened my dr told me the only way i was having a vbac was if i went into labor on my own which i didn cuz she wasnt going to induce me cuz what happened the first time so i had a second csection an currently pregnant with my third and i will have a second scheduled csection cuz i more then likely wnt go into labor on my own.

And ending up with a c section has nothing to do with being Induced. It's just a coincidence that it happens.

Most doctors won't induce with a vbac. It increases the chance of rupture alot. even if they are willing to I sure wouldnt allow it. It makes contractions alot stronger hence the incision more likely to open. I'd think long and hard if your going to be induced and try vbac . My doctors told most will not take that risk as it's to high. I wouldn't.
