Csection mamas?

Question

Hey ladies :)
 I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with my second child. I had a csection with my son just about 4years ago, and I'm not sure if I want to have a csection with this babe, or attempt a natural delivery! Looking for insight, or what other mamas are thinking :)

Answer

I have a tough labor and pushed for three hours only for it to end in a csection. I’m pretty traumatized by that so I’m just going right to a csection this time.

Answer

Same here. I want to attempt vbac but I'm terrified of uterine rupture. I know it's super rare but I still cant stop worrying about it

Answer

I had an emergency c section last year with an absolutely terrible recovery so I will be trying for a vbac this time 🤞I think it's completely up to you and what you feel comfortable with though mama knows best 💕

Answer

I had an elective c section over being induced with my first due to Cholestasis and I will 100% be choosing a repeat c section. 
My recovery was so smooth, baby was out in 7 minutes from the start of surgery, I was walking around fine the next day and completely off of pain killers within 2 days of being home from the hospital. 
I think planned vs “emergency” is a huge difference. Also about your head space. 
My csection was also only 22 months ago and I don’t feel comfortable attempting Vbac with them so close together. 
I’ll have ample help at home after the surgery so I’ll be able to recover fine. 
It’s a lot of weighing pros and cons, but I don’t feel like I was jipped out of “birth” like lots of women feel, so I’m not missing anything, and I think that’s a very big weight for women. 
I liked my experience a lot and I feel very comfortable going that route again. 
Right now I’m going with what I believe is best for my body and health, and slightly  expecting to develop Cholestasis again, which will cause me to deliver early again.

Answer

I’ve had 2 c-sections and will have a 3rd. My 1st was a 30 hour labor, dilated to 10 but I have a small pelvis and my sons head was huge. He kept hitting my pelvis every time I pushed so we went to a c-section. My daughter was actually breach so it worked out. 
It was so nice! I picked the date, didn’t have to deal with any pain from labor.

Answer

I’m going for v bac I don’t want to be stuck in the hospital for 3 days lol

Answer

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m thinking of a vbac! This little one will be a little over 3 years from when my son was born, and it was my dr’s miscalculation that led to my section rather than my son (thought he was two pounds bigger and wasn’t coming because of size - he was just sunny side up).
My OB said I’m a candidate so I just need to get my body into gear and start exercising and doing a million squats to really help my body be ready to do what it needs to do by then.
We decided if i have to go section again we’ll be fine, but definitely want to try for a vbac!

Answer

I had VBAC after my first one and it was the best thing ever!!! They are 3 and a half years apart and all went fine! Ask your doctor to see if they allow it cause some won’t but I was lucky to have one that does. Good luck

Answer

I'm terrified of both options if im honest. I had a horrific experience with my son 2 years ago. My labour didnt progress and I ended up having an emergency c section after being in hospital for 3 days. I then lost a lot of blood and also ended up with sepsis. Plus my little boy had awful jaundice and struggled to feed for the first 2 days. 
Ideally id like to have a vbac but i know that a planned is so different which is  why im scared. What if i dont progress again and end up with another emergency? I ended up staying another 3 days after my little boy and i dont want that to happen again. 
I just dont know. I was thinking about trying a vbac if it happens but if i go overdue having a planned csection (im certain that I wasnt ready to labour even though i was over due and that it was the induction that caused so many problems) but I am honestly scared either way.

Answer

I had a csection with my daughter 3 years ago because she was breech. With this pregnancy as of right now I have the option to have vbac or repeated csection. I’m hoping I can do vbac this time.
