Question Ladies!!!! Is it safe to have a VBAC after #3???

Question

I'm ttc#3 and I want to have a natural birth if possible. After having 3 csection already hoping when i do get pregnant that my doctor will agree to this procedure. If not I heard taking primrose oil around 37 weeks will start contraction not sure how true it is.

Wanted to know if any of you ladies know or have had it done.

Answer

Try a birthing center. Doctors LOVE C-sections be it gets them a shit ton of money. It's a business 😒 a midwife will give you an HONEST opinion

Answer

Look up ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) and ditch the OB's. 99% of the time they are anti-VBAC and very PRO cesarean. You need a midwife and a doula. Most of my VBAC moms birth at home because the birth climate is so abysmal in hospital.

Answer

I dorm think they will allow a vbac after two c-sections. To dangerous.

Answer

Why did you have 3 c-sections to begin with? Each C section does put you at a higher risk for issues such as uterine rupture, which not only puts you at risk but also the life of your baby.

Could you find a birthing center to let you deliver naturally? Probably. But what happens if something goes wrong there? Or if you or your baby get into some sort of distress? A doula or a midwife won't be performing your emergent c section.

I understand trying to deliver naturally but sometimes it's not in you or your unborn baby's best interest.

Answer

Even if you start your own labor, they will only do another c-section.

After two c-sections you can't have a natural delivery.

Answer

My mom had her first 5 via C-section, and then had a VBAC with me. My 4 younger siblings were all C-sections too. I think she's an unusual case though, and it's certainly risky.

Answer

Absolutely.

Answer

Talk with your doctor and the go through counseling to wen see if you are a candidate for a VBAC. Listen to your doctor on this.

Answer

If depends on your doctor, scar tissue, etc. their are many things that affect wether your doctor will let you have a vaginal birth. But if it's something you really want talk to your doctor about it or get a second opinion from a doctor who does vaginal births after c-sections. I know someone who had 4 c-sections but delivered her 5th vagionally. So it depends on a lot of things withen your body and how the baby is doing

Answer

Whether or not it is safe is different for each individual. Your doctor would be the best person to discuss the risks with. Most doctors tend to not do VBAC because they don't usually go as planned and a good number of women end up having c-sections in the end for numerous reasons. It can also be a liability issue for the doctor. The more csections you have had means the more scar tissue you may have. Also, I've heard of "Windows" where the incision line is. It's where the uterus is thinned out from the scar tissue and you can almost see the baby. Typically, who ever delivered your last baby csection can tell you if they saw a window or anything to be concerned about. I've mostly read that doctors are worried about a uterine rupture around the scar tissue during labor which could lead to death.

But aside from the scary stuff, if you find a very supportive Obgyn they might let you do a vbac. It's just hard to find.
