Midwife pushing me to VBAC - can this be true?

[GogoTheSmall]

28wk appointment yesterday and the midwife started selling VBAC to me after I told her I was undecided.

Truth be told I have been edging towards an elcs, for a number of reasons including that I have a bicornuate uterus which can make pushing babies out more difficult (which is why I ended up with em/cs with DD1 after failure to progress - not sure I want to exhaust myself all over again just to end up in theatre).

Anyway, she told me there are higher risks with repeat c/s due to higher risks of scare adhesions, and long term bladder and bowel problems. I thought it was vaginal birth that gave you bladder and bowel problems!

Anyone heard of this with repeat c/s?

Thinneratforty,

Thanks very much for that, very interesting. I read that it can also mean not all placenta comes out - i had a huge bit left in last time.

I have had two scans on my ovaires too for cysts but no one mentioned it.

Any I am seeing consultant so will def bring it up. I am just very surprised the scanner and the midwife didnt say more about it.
