Hi all
Anyone thinking of a natural birth after c.section

 

[Durhamchance]

It's still early days, but yes, I'm considering it.

Hey I'm in two minds saw my consultant today got till 19th Dec to make final decision but feeling alot more positive about trying a natural labour

I am! I was offered a 2hr 'course' by my hospital that went through all the cons and pros. The course was fab and I'm definitely trying for a natural birth this time.

Nope, elective section for me, unless the hospital can guarantee me a stress free easy labour or by some miracle my baby isn't as huge as theirbig bbrother was!

Im early days yet but I had my paper works for my appointments through the post today. And on it it said VBAC Iooked it up and it seems both have risks so I am unsure but has I say it's early days at the minute. Last time I had an emergency c section and was put to sleep and always aaid I would have an elective c section

I've opted for a section again as I refuse to go overdue (long story but I felt something was going wrong when overdue and the midwives didn't listen to me then i very nearly lost my son at 40+10), but if I go into labour naturally before 39+2 I'll be delighted as I'd love to try natural labour x

I'm a doula, I've personally attended two vaginal births after c-section. From all the research I've done to support these mums I've come to the conclusion that under specific circumstances (e.g. baby's position), VBAC is considered a safer option for mum and baby.
But you need to make your research before you decide. And prepare your mind and body for labour if you choose to go with a VBAC

This is the same has me I was put to sleep etc.
I have my vbac appointment on Wednesday will see what they say.
But I have been saying I would like another c section cause I will know when he is coming unlike last time x

I had my appointment yesterday.
She basically said I can choose what and I want.
She has put me forward has if I was having a c section but I can change my mind because she said it's easier to make appointments etc now rather then doing it further down the line cause they can be cancelled anyway.
I was shocked that she said that being put to sleep for a c section was rare. I had to be with little man and I didn't realise it was rare x
