VBAC or 2nd C Section?

Question

My first c section wasn’t terrible honestly but the recovery was so, so awful for me. I now have a toddler as well so I’m thinking maybe I try a VBAC? Just looking for opinions from those with experience!

Answer

vabc healing (if you don’t have 3rd degree tears) is so much easier and faster healing time. like you’ll be able to walk, bend, and do most of everything normal with VBAC.

Answer

Thank you! The recovery was long and painful. I had a large number of stitches and couldnt sit down properly, walk etc, everything was very very slow!

Answer

I had a vbac with my second and it was such a completely different experience. I needed an episiotomy and stitches but the recovery was absolutely amazing compared to my c-sections. I was up walking right away, home the next morning and went for a walk. I honestly felt amazing. My third I tried for a vbac again but unfortunately needed another section. If they would let me try again this time I would but our hospital doesn’t do vba2c unfortunately.

Answer

With my first i had a 3B degree tear and was in surgery after giving birth and the recovery was rough, this time round im considering an elective c section.

Answer

are you a candidate for VBAC? it could be easier but with my first vaginal birth, the recovery was soooo bad. Either way isn’t fun haha I also had a like 3rd or 4th degree cut though. it hurt to even have sex for like the first year
