My last pregnancy I had to be induced because of high blood pressure in week 40. I ended up having an emergency c-section after 4 days of being induced because there was no progress. I only dilated to 3 cm and as soon as they stopped the pitocin drip I no longer had any contractions. This time I'm considering a planned c-section out of fear that my second birth would be anything like the first one. My last birth was quite traumatic to me. I'm thinking with a planned c-section I will have time to prepare and it would hopefully be a nice and relaxed experience, nothing like my first time. At the same time I do feel like I would be missing out on natural childbirth and this is my last chance. After 2 c-sections a VBAC is no longer an option in my country. Does anyone have any advice for me or have you been in the same situation? I would love to hear other womens experiences. Did/would you choose a planned c-section or try for a VBAC?
