Hello everyone,
I have searched for a thread on this topic but couldn't find it so I'm starting my own.
I am not even pregnant with my second yet, but we will start trying next month. I am wondering about whether to VBAC or not.
In all the threads I've read the advice is that a planned section is easier than emergency, and so it's better to do that than try for a VBAC.
In my case though, I had a semi-planned section (high blood pressure, refused induction and was overdue so had a section as was my birth plan - had never been romantic about natural birth)
It was calm and fine but also terrifying and the recovery was worse than expected. I was fine and left the hospital within 24 hours, was up walking right away etc, but the healing was rough.
With a toddler running around, a VBAC seems maybe better? But then, do I want to mess up two regions when I've already got the scar from one? Am I being insane to want to experience childbirth? I never wanted to before!
What would you do? Any advice? Stories of VBACs good or bad??
