I am pregnant with my third, first was a CS due to the baby breech, 2nd was precautionary/routine follow up CS and I really wish I'd chosen VBAC then because I don't want to limit my family to just 3 children. Any info you have would be helpful. Thanks!

(i think the only one!) in Indiana who will let me attempt a VBA2C. I would love to hear from those mommy's who have succeeded at a VBAC after 2 or more ces.

  Re: VBAC after 2 c sections Reply Contact I am pregnant with my third and this will be my third section. From what I know there isn't a limit on the number of sections you can have. However, if you form adhesions...internal scars...there is a greater risk from each additional surgery. They say you can have three with out any problem...but if you form scars the fourth has a much greater risk of complications. this sucks for me because I form adhesions very very well and want four children. So I am hoping that this won't be the last. My doc will have to way the options with me to decide. If all else fales...ask the doctor. They are the expert. i trust my entirely. That is what she does everyday...not like me who has one done every few years. ya know! Good luck!

  Re: VBAC after 2 c sections Reply Contact I did it. It was a 2 1/2 day active labor with a 9 lb 10 oz baby who had both hands by his head, & it was a million times better than both of my cesareans. A few hours/days of pain before meeting baby as opposed to weeks/months of recovery while taking care of a newborn & other children. . . there's no comparison! I'm not on here too often anymore, but if you ever want to talk with someone who's 'been there, done that' feel free to email me at LNCooper83 @ yahoo. com anytime :)
