What would you do if you were me? Vbac or Repeat Cesarean...

Question

Kind of long but hoping someone can help.
I had recently made up my mind to try a Vbac after having a successful vaginal birth with my first son and then a Csection with my second son due to breech position. My Dr's say the choice between Vbac vs repeat Cesarean is up to me as long as I know that the small chance of uterine rupture could be a deadly complication (no pressure right?!)         I also have uterine didelphys, or a double uterus. My concern is that I may be at an increased risk of uterine rupture with this uterine abnormalaty. And no I haven't gotten to ask my Dr if my double uterus puts me at an increased risk yet but I have tried researching it and there's basically no info out there on this rare situation. I'm starting to wonder if Vbac is safest option... 
The baby is head down and I am 36 weeks. It's been almost 9 years since my Csection; giving the scar plenty of time to heal. I know there are serious complications with a Csection as well as a Vbac. I don't know what to do! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
Here's what my weird uterus looks like compared to a normal one:

Answer

Sounds like we're in the same boat. Although not the double uterus part. Actually never heard of that. But my first child was vaginal and then second was c-section which was 8 years ago. dr gave me the choice and Im trying for a vbac. If all is well then this is what I'll do if I'm having a hard time or baby is struggling then a cesarean will happen. Definitely think about it. I hear vbacs are successful! Im 38 weeks tomorrow And it's been several years for you. Good luck!

Answer

Personally, I wouldn't jump to a decision. I would just keep an eye on things and keep talking to your Dr about it and see what happens. I'm personally the type of person that advocates for the most natural option possible, but in this case it's about weighing the risks of both.

Answer

If I am understanding correctly your doctor is like mine and they have to tell you about the risks, I ended up choosing a repeat c-section which doesn't matter now because he turned and is breeched again. I would ask the dr about the double uterus it could cause a problem. I understand the difficulty in choosing , the information on both is scary. 
I would keep looking and talking to your dr. As well as talk to your husband or significant other and see what the best option is for you and your family!

No my dr did not try and scare me into a repeat c-section , she was extremely pro choice and actually recommended the vbac because I was a good candidate after 2 years. 
Just keep looking, and chose the best for you and your comfort level! I know lots of ladies on here and in life that will judge you and me based on decisions we make but it really isn't any one else's business but your own and the Dr's

Answer

I had a section with my first and I'm hoping to get vbac this time with my second . I'm 36+2

Answer

My Dr. has given me the choice also. I'm scheduled for a c-section on my due date if I don't go into labor on my own. Its been almost 11 years since my son (c-section).
