VBAC?

Question

For all the mommas out there who have had a c-section what are your thoughts on trying to have a “normal” birth after? My son was transverse so I had no choice but to have a section the first time. Now that I’m pregnant with my second I’m kinda torn. I don’t know what to do. HELP!

Answer

I had a long labor with an emergency c-section with my first. My second was a VBAC and it was amazing! I’d definitely recommend it if you’re interested in trying. The recovery was a lot easier. Good luck!

Answer

I agree that I'm scared to try for a VBAC, partly because i know what to expect for a csection, not for a vaginal birth. Partly, i don't want to get my hopes up and end up with another section. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just schedule a c section. In the end though, pretty sure I would regret not trying.

Answer

I think I’ve decided that I will schedule a c-section, but if baby decides to come before that, I’ll attempt a VBAC.

Answer

I won’t be. But my situation is a bit different, I laboured hard, drug free for nine hours on pitocin because I wanted a natural birth more than anything. I honestly couldn’t imagine why anyone would ever go for an elective c-section. And then my son’s cord prolapsed and I almost lost him. I was only dilated to a four, so majority of hospitals would send me home and he would have died. And I was put under general anesthetic, so I wasn’t present for my son’s birth, neither was my husband and I missed his first two hours of life being operated on. I know statistically the chances of this ever happening again are highly unlikely, but I refuse to not be present for my next baby’s birth.

Answer

I have to have a c-section because of medical reasons. I would have loved the opportunity to have a VBAC. I think if your doctor is comfortable with it and you are too, give it a try!

Answer

I’m scheduling a c section for 41 weeks. If the baby decides to come before then great if not we will evict it! *This is a theoretical baby that’s why I said “it” because I’m not pregnant again but this is what I plan to do* I decided though with everything that happened with my first I would love to try for a natural birth again but most likely I’m going to be like my mom and unable to birth children naturally

Answer

I VBAC with my second daughter and had no problems

Answer

My specialist told me yesterday I could potentially try for a vbac but I am trying to look at options for childcare for our son and coming up empty so I am worried that's going to be my 'push comes to shove' back into a repeat ceaser.
