Baby number 2. Does that mean another C section??

Question

I had an emergency C section with my first baby. Everything went well including recovery time. will I have to have a scheduled C section this time or can Indian natural birth?

Answer

Emergency cesareans are done when there is an emergency. Unless your doctor actually did the old style cut (which they are not supposed to do) you should qualify for a vbac. Dont settle for the first doctors no. Get a second and even third opinion. Unless it is an emergency that is likely to repeat itself.

Answer

My SIL had her first by c-section and last 2 were natural. So yes you can have a natural birth!!!!

Answer

You can try for a VBAC. I've had a c section and I'm trying vaginal next time. But most doctors don't do VBACs because of the associated risks like uterine rupturing etc.

Answer

There are so many factors that go into determining whether or not you are a candidate for VBAC. Your medical history, how soon you get pregnant again after a c-section, how the next pregnancy goes, etc. You really have to talk with your doctor, maybe get a second opinion, and consider all the risks. I had a vaginal birth with my first (narrowly escaping an emergency C-section, my doctor still is in disbelief and it's been almost two years) and a scheduled c-section for my second (because of the size of the baby and the complications I had the first time). He and I already discussed the possibility of a VBAC, which he would have gladly done, except I'm a high risk patient so that's a no-go for me. You can't just arbitrarily choose one or the other without gathering all the facts and weighing the risk and having a doctor you can trust.

Answer

It depends on why you needed the c-section. If you have a similar problem you may need another one but if the pregnancy seems normal you should be able to birth vagibalky,

Answer

My lo was born via emergency csection bc she was in distress. She was back to back and not moving down. Although they said I'm a great candidate for a vbac given my history and hers (she wasn't breathing and spent time in nicu) and the ptsd I suffered from it all my doctor strongly urged a repeat csection which I am fine with. Really depends on doctor and history :)

Answer

I chose to have a repeat C-Section vs trying to labor. In the OR my doctor told me I made the right choice as my old C-Section scar was so thin as soon as she touched the spot it broke open. As a disclaimer I did get pregnant unexpectedly just 7 months after my first emergency C-Section so that might have effected my old incision. I was happy with my choice and although I don't plan on having anymore children if I were I would rather be safe than sorry and have an old incision rip open during labor. Planned C-Section has been much easier to recover from than my Emergency one after having also labored for a long time. Good Luck!

Answer

It depends on the type of incision you had as well as where you live, dr and hospital policy on whether or not they will allow you to attempt a vbac or require a repeat c section. I had a sucessful vbac 14 months after my emergency c section and it went perfectly. If you're interested in a vbac, I recommend doing lots of research and speaking to your ob!

Answer

I think normally when you have one C-section, then the rest have to be that way, but not always. My mom had a C-section with me, but delivered my brother naturally 7 years later. It must just depend on your situation.

Answer

My first was an emergency c-sec & my 2nd & 3rd were normal so you don't necessarily have to have a c-sec the hospital will advise you if it's absolutely relevant to have one
