Successful Vaginal Del. After CS First Time?

[009]

Hi I am interested to hear from anyone who had a CS with their first child. I want to know what percentage of mums who have a CS with first baby go onto have a Vag. del. with second. Also would like to hear from mums who planned for a vag. del. with second but ended up having another CS. What happened?

Am trying for second baby. First was crash CS. Wanting to know what my chances are of having a vag del or whether to go for an elective next time and cut out the trauma.

Aah, well you see, there's admin charges and a photocopy fee per page, usually about 5p..... However, it's capped at £50 and, here comes the gloat, my hospital never charged me a penny, so it's feasable that you coudl be lucky too! Anyway info about it can be found here

I'm sorry to hear about your mum. Your sister might have been 'turned' because she was breech and they used ECV, external cephalic version. I'm supposing that her labours would have been 'dry' if her waters had already broken, but you won't know if this was spontaneous before contractions started or if they were artificially ruptured...

009 - I know exactly how you feel, for a long time I would not even entertain having another baby. I went into a hospital a year after having dd and had a panic attack as the memories flooded back (wasn't even there for me just visiting).

They do say time is a great healer (fingers crossed). My turning point came when I realised that I can't change what will be but it would be awful to regret not having more children (dd absolute star) out of fear.

Scan on Monday so will let you know what they advise from there.

I think I have healed now and really don't worry very much about what has passed. Of course having this conversation on here has picked at the sores a little bit. But I'm ok. What happened happened. I would just rather it be different the next time. I can definately face having another one now. The thing I am most nervous about is the pain of labour. But.... at the very least, I know I survived the last one.

I had an emergency section with number 1, then 2 more vaginal deliveries. Both were problematic though and now we mustn't have more kids. I am sure on the whole it would be okay though.
