Have appointment with Supervisor of midwives at 3pm today after shit consultant meeting at 16w re birth options.
Am 19 weeks and have had
- one actually great EMCS (failure to progress CS’d at 42+1)
- one pretty fucking traumatic ELCS (long op, baby came out barely breathing, Midwife didn’t believe my dates at point of delivery, baby readmited with sepsis at 12days old, CS’d at 39w).
This baby will not be my last and I’m in a quandary as to whether to explore going for a VBA2C or to press home the point I want an ELCS again but at 40w this time. Consultant has already said no to the latter.
Please can anyone tell me their VBAC tales especially if you ended up with a previous CS for failure to progress and especially if you had a VBAC after 2 CS’
I am considering VBAC to maximise my chances of being able to have a 4th child without going through more CS hoopla again re scar rupture etcetc. I also kinda want to have a go at a natural delivery (but would never do anything to really risk myself or baby’s life).
I just need to know that the lines I’m thinking along are not crackers. I’m just so confused.
