TTC 10 mths PP - Should I try a VBAC?

Tessa

Hey everyone,

DH and I are trying for our second baby. My first was an emergency c-section.

I was induced. The baby and I had reactions to pitocin and I got a uterine infection, so it ended in an emergency caesarean. I had a 30 hour labour. I got tetanic contractions during the surgery and I was trembling from pain. I was swearing and bawling. They screwed up my epidural meds or something because I shouldn’t have felt that. Needless to say, I don’t want to go through that again.

Do you think I should try a VBAC or get a c-section? We want 4 kids and I can only have 3 if I get c-sections. If get pregnant this cycle, they’ll be 19 months apart. My hospital does VBACs after 18 mths PP unless there’s a problem with how you healed.

Thanks! Please be kind xo
