VBAC

Until recently, women who delivered via c-section had to deliver all subsequent children the same way. But now, an increasing number of women are having VBAC, or a vaginal birth after cesarean. Check out this message board to meet other women who have had a VBAC and those who are considering it.

    Vbac?

    I had one vaginal birth and two by cesarean. First child was vaginal. Would like to know if anyone has had a VBAC after two cesarean births? Would love to try but unsure.

    Re: Vbac?

    Hi. I am also attemping a VBA2C. My history is 11 yrs ago DS emergent C/S, 10yrs ago DS2 VBAC (24 hrs labor and 9 1/2 lbs), 6 months ago w/ DD (born on 11-18-08) VBAC attempt (7hrs labor) and C/S (due to fetal distress, her cord was wrapped around her ankle she was also 10lbs 2.4oz) and I am now 8wks preggo again.. and am hoping that my Doc allows me to attempt a trial labor for a VBA2C!! Good luck and let me know what your doc says!! Is this doc a VBAC friendly doc?? Hope so.. there are so many out there afraid of lawsuits so they stick with the "easy" birth.. easy for them that is...

    I have an appointment next week on the 21st and I will see how the dr feels about VBAC. I just left a Dr that was for a VBAC but didn't like him in any other way besides the fact that he would allow a VBAC. I hope this new Dr is open to a VBAC. I'm 16 weeks and due Oct 30th. So you had a VBAC with your second child? How did that go. Did they induce you or use any pain meds?

    Re: Vbac?

    I had a homebirth VBAC after two cesareans just over two years ago. My first was a planned cesarean due to a birth defect she had. My second was a 'failed' (sabotaged) VBAC attempt where I was flat out lied to about my progression & her position to get me to consent to a repeat cesarean after a long labor. I was told she was too big to drop into my pelvis to dilate me properly (8 lbs 13 oz). I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, all avoidably. Less than two years after that, after a longer labor, I pushed out my 9 lb 10 oz son with both hands by his head in my spare bedroom at home over a completely intact perineum. There are lots of women who've had VBACs after more than one cesarean. Especially because you've had a previous vaginal birth, that helps increase your chances of success & decrease the chances of complications. Check out www.plus-size-pregnancy.org (not just for plus sized moms!) for lots of VBAmC (Vaginal Birth After Multiple Cesarean) stories, & ICAN www.ican-online.org for more info & support. Let me know if you need anything. I don't get on these forums much anymore, but you can email me directly at LNCooper83 @ yahoo.com if there's any info or support you're needing. Good luck!
