Hello,
I am 27 weeks with my second DC- I had an emcs with my last dc, 4 years ago due to failure to progress labour at 40+5. I also had pre eclampsia (but uneventful) if that's relevant.
As far as I know I didn't dilate at all last time, never even got any rhythm of contractions started before being sectioned.
So i have been offered elcs this time round and met with my consultant who explained all the facts and that it was my choice- she made it clear though that they will not try and induce labour, but would emcs straight away if labour didn't progress if I wanted to try vbac.
I also understand that the fact I didn't labour at all last time means the odds of vbac being successful is lessened.
I am struggling to find stats about how likely a successful vbac would be given what happened last time.
My consultant and midwives have been really good at giving me the facts- but can offer no opinion on what I should decide, it's my choice.
Can anyone offer any thoughts on what the likelihood of a successful vbac would be given my history?
Any experience or thoughts would be gratefully received!
Thanks!
