VBAC past 40 weeks

Andrea

Hi everyone! I am currently 22 weeks with my baby girl. I talked to my doctor about having a vaginal birth this time and he was on board with it.

Now with my son i had a c-section because the doctor told me that my son was measuring big (over 10lbs)and that his head would come out fine but his shoulders would get stuck. After asking what he thiugh was safest, he said a c-section.

My son ended up being 8lbs 12oz. I was 40+2 when i had the c-section.

I'm nervous about having another c-section and trying to get all the info i can this time around. My doctor said if i haven't had my baby by 39weeks then he starts worrying. But has anyone had a successful VBCA after 40 weeks and does it add more risk after 40weeks?
