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.

    I did it!!!!

    I had my VBAC on April 3 - my baby girl Anna was 9 lbs even.  She is lovely though we are having some breastfeeding difficulties.

    I did get the epidural, which I didn't plan on doing, but I dilated nice and steadily and though I had to push for 2 hours I finally got her out!! I had so many people who didn't think I could do it, but DH and my docs were behind me all the way and that makes all the difference!!

    YES.. you should have that option... it is all a matter of the Doctors that you choose and of course your medical history. I had a C/S with Ds 1 and a Vbac with ds 2... and an attempted Vbac.. ended up with a C/S with DD.. I am hoping to try for another VBAC with this current pregnancy!
