I’m obese, was induced, had Fetal scalp monitoring, an epidural and still had a VBAC. Pretty much everything they tell you not to do to have a successful VBAC. 😂If I can do it you can!!
VBAC stories
Anyone here ever get to do a vbac? Was it successful?
Im a good candidate as Ive only had one csection 4 years ago, and the reason was event related and not physically related. But my current office is being SUPER pushy about scheduling another csection, even after they said I could try. My nurse was basically trying to talk me out of it any chance she got. But i really want to try vbac. Just want to hear some stories on it from you all.

I personally only know one person that tried for a VBAC and it was successful, although that was several years ago. Everyone else I know went with a planned c-section for their second or more, myself included due to the risks associated with a VBAC.

Uterine rupture is the highest risk. Other risks can be placenta accreta. Also, if your prior c-section was the result of failed dilation, contractions, small pelvis or large baby, you run a higher risk of having another repeat emergency c-section. This doesn’t mean that it will happen or that everyone whose had a c-section would fall into these categories though. I personally have read and had friends that ended up wishing they just went with a planned c-section as they ended up with another emergency one. For me, I wanted the least risk to my baby and myself.

What are the risks? Other than rupturing your scar etc

This.
A friend of mine had 2 VBACs. I was induced and labored for 72 hrs so I am hoping to avoid all of that this time and go into labor naturally. The docs said I would’ve likely been fine had I not been induced because I was progressing nicely until my son went into distress, so I’m gonna try, but if any complications come up, I will schedule a c-section rather than go through that hell again.

I was induced too and so mad about it!
