Dec 2023 - c section
Nov 2025 - c section
July 2027 - due

Has anybody had similar age gaps & had a vaginal birth after 2 c sections?
First c section - induction , didnt progress
Second c section - waters broke 36+5, pain not in line with contractions thought start of uterine rupture, asked post surgery and no signs of uterine rupture

really dont want another c section hoping theres some other mammas with successful vba2c stories 🙏🏻

Your body your choice, but why would you risk a vaginal birth over an elective section? I've had both, the best delivery is the safest delivery for you and your baby. Not to mention the risk of your two other young children losing their Mum unnecessarily.

2% risk of rupture after 2 c sections compared with higher risks posed with x3 c sections. I wouldnt say use the word unnecessarily so freely. Kindly consider wider factors, mental health, lack of support post major abdominal surgery 👍

also , I am a trained health professional working in womens health so I am literally just looking for people with experience of vba3c, not comments shaming someone considering a natural delivery

Yes me, it was a fantastic birth and one of my best life experiences but I had very serious and extensive tears so the recovery was horrendous and I went back to c section for #4. My babies are all huge with enormous heads though.
