Vbac or no?

Question

My midwife is leaning to want me to have a VBAC. I had a C section almost 4 years ago. I literally have no hips what so ever so the thought of pushing a baby out of me is terrifying. I’m leaning more towards having another C section but what are the pros & cons of having a repeat C section vs a VBAC vice versa.

Answer

From my research (I’m no doctor) it’s better to have a VBAC if you plan on having more children. The c-sections get more risky each time you have one.

Answer

I’m having another c section because I just literally don’t care about VBAC. Ain’t no shame in my game! 😆

Answer

VBAC all the way.  Once you do it you will realize how brutal c section recovery is.  Vaginal delivery and recovery felt like a breeze.  I agree with the previous comment that I felt like I just came home and went about my daily life.  It’s also something to consider if you want more children.

Answer

It was a easier recovery for sure. My c-section i was down for days and in a lot of pain. My vbac i left the hospital the next day and went about my life(husband was gone,so i had to take care of the kids).

Answer

I've had 2 vaginal births and 2 c sections and I far preferred my vaginal births. I really wanted a vbac with my 4th but I got preeclampsia. The recovery is remarkably different and easier.

Answer

My mom had a home birth VBAC with no complications 🤷🏻‍♀️ there are tons of benefits as long as your risks are low. The more c-sections you have, the more likely you are to have serious complications, especially in future pregnancies. I would avoid an unnecessary c-section at all costs. 
There are positions you can use to help make it as easy as possible. Squatting is actually one of the best as it helps widen your hips. I plan to have a water birth as that allows for free movement, more comfortable delivery, less likelihood of tearing, and helps keep weight off of your legs, hips, and ankles while pushing.
