VBAC?

Question

What’s your experience? I had a csection with my daughter exactly 2 years ago and now I’m due with a baby boy.  I was really upset i didn’t have a regular birth the first time but i want to do what’s best for my baby.  Anyone have any insight? Or experience?

Answer

It's very popular where I live. A lot of women go through the midwives and choose to have vbacs. I've heard nothing but great stories. A friend of mine had her vbac 3 years after having a traumatic c section experience with her son and she was so so happy. She said it was so much easier and she recovered so much faster. If I had to have a c section I would 100% try for a vbac if medically I was able too. I did have another friend who wanted a vbac and she ended up finding out her second pregnancy had placenta previa and she had to have another section. I would say shoot for the vbac if that's what you want. Do some research and you can always change your mind.

Answer

I'd check with your doctor and local hospital first. I wanted to try for a vac with my 2nd but that dream was over once I found out my local hospital doesnt allow vbacs.

Answer

Ive had a VBAC. I wanted to try because my first was an emergency section and i hadn't even gone into labour so I had literally no experience of a natural birth, he was essentially evicted. My VBAC went well, first contraction to last push was 8.5 hours but I had a bad tear. I had to have a spinal for stitches in theatre and the recovery I found more painful a longer. The main reason I wanted a VBAC was because my son was only 20 months and I wanted to be up and about and home and recover faster and I had none of that. I had to stay in because the spinal tool 24 hours to wear off properly and thay was the policy and the recovery I found much longer than the section. I don't regret having the vbac but this time I'm opting for a planned section because i recovered better from it and I dont want to risk a tear again. What I'm saying is make sure your reasons for a vbac still apply of you end up with a difficult birth

Answer

I plan on having a VBAC. It'll be my first time doing it. I heard a lot of great stories that were successful. I had to have an emergency c sections with my twins. I'm lucky I get to try a vbac. I'm looking forward to it. Was told there's not as many risks as having a repeat c section.
