Sorry, should have been more clear. I am accustomed to EDB meaning epidural block and EDC for expected date of confinement- archaic I guess but there you go.

I remember when I was a student (>20yrs) they were thingy about EDB in VBAC but not for at least the past 15 years- no increase in rupture etc. What is the reason for limiting them in VBAC? Just out of curiosity. As our policy is VBAC regardless of mothers wishes, in such a case we would plan an attempt at least for a labour at term, especially after a previous normal birth. Monica   .
