I am terrified to have another csection. We had an emergency section for my son almost 2 years ago.

I’m 27 weeks and had a consult with the anesthesiologist just in the event things go sideways for the planned vbac.

He basically told me that chances are if my vbac fails they will have to put me under general anesthesia again because I have a difficult spine, and they wouldn’t have time to play around back there.

I was put under for my son and I never got to hear him cry for the first time. My husband also wasn’t present for the birth of our son, and I have been so guilty since then.

I am currently seeking trauma counselling due to my prior birth experience, but am feeling very let down that if I don’t have a successful vbac- that I’ll be put under once again.

Not everyone is supportive of my vbac plans, has anyone else been through something like this?
