C- Section?

Okay, I got a C section with my first baby. I am now pregnant again, and my new doctor recommends that I get another c- section. My other doctor who gave me the c section said that I should be able to give natural birth with my second child. I prefer to give natural birth. But there are consequences. have any of you had c sections and given natural birth afterwards?

C- Section?
My suggestion is this. Find out what hospitals in your area do VBACs. Then ask the nurses which doctors do VBACs. Make an appointment with that doctor. You are more likely to get the best, least biased advice from that doctor as to whether a vaginal birth is an option.





Most of the cases of uterine rupture during VBAC were CAUSED by doctors using induction or labor enhancing drugs. These are no longer used. In fact, EVERY case in MN was caused by these drugs.





If you go back to that doctor, which I don't think you should, you should ask him why he says you shouldn't have a VBAC when your doctor WHO DID THE SURGERY said it wouldn't be a problem? What medical factor has changed? (It is likely that the hospital he practices at does not do VBAC).





Roughly 75% of women who choose VBAC, have a successful vaginal birth. If a hospital does not allow VBAC, then women who have normal births are at risk because that means there is no doctor available in an emergency.
Reply:I'm the oldest and my mom had me through C-section. But had my 3 other brothers naturally. So I doubt there is any consequences. Maybe your doctor is saying it because the scar is already there and can easily be opened again. Good luck :)
Reply:I dont know anyone that has tried and successfully done it. Its too dangerous.
Reply:Yes I have seen many One is my own sister she had natural birth for 1st, C-section for the second and again natural birth in the third with no complicaations absolutely normal.
Reply:They really don't recommend you have a vaginal birth after having a c-section but you will find the occasional doctor that will let you try. If this is what you choose to do be prepared that you'll more than likely end up having to have the c-section anyways. Good luck!
Reply:Yes VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section) are very common. Do some research into it on the internet and make your decision. Your current doctor is suggesting it because once you have a c-section it weakens your uterian wall and can cause compications if you try to have a vaginal birth later on. It depends on how are apart your pregnancies were, if you had any compications after your c-section, if you have had any complications during this pregnancy etc.





I only have one child, and don't plan on having anymore but if I did I would definately try to have my next child naturally. I had an an emergency c-section with my first son so I never got to "go into labor" or anything like that.





Good luck %26amp; congrats
Reply:I actually never gave birth.. but i have an older brother and a younger sister my brother was natural i was c section and my sister was natural.. and my mom was just fine and so was my little sister... the doctor who closed you up knows how your last pregnancy went so i would say that your probably safe to give natural birth.. best of luck to you.. and congrats

I don't have any personal experience with it but there is a whole section on VBAC on this site. Also, you do what you feel is right, you may end up with another c-section but who knows.





Good luck
Reply:i have had a friend who had 2 c sections and then gave delivery to her last child. she said she preferred c section though because it was easier for her knowing what to expect and all. i gave birth to my 1st 3 babies then had a c section. natural child birth can be tiring with all the pushing and stuff. you have to do what you think is right for your body. i prefer child birth naturally but some women tend to think that the c section is easier. so it's really up to you and your condition when that time comes. hope this helps
Reply:As long as your uterine incision is bikini cut, then you should be able to attempt a VBAC (vaginal birth after c/section), provided that the circumstances are ideal.


I had an emergency c/section with my son, both he and I were in distress. While pg with my daughter I decided that I want to try for VBAC.


Keep in mind that a vbac won't always happen. I ended up needing another emergency c/section b/c my my daughter went into distress, the cord was wrapped around her leg.





Natural birth is a vaginal birth without meds. I think it's awesome that you want to try that. Good luck to you. If you do have a vaginal birth but end up needing an epidural, that's OKAY, just remember that.


A friend of mine had a c/section with her first and was able to go through with a vbac with the second. It wasn't natural, though, she had an epidural.





Always remember that the safety of your baby will define how you give birth. If the vbac isn't possible, it's okay. As long as the little one comes safely, that's all that matters. :)
