Anyone had a Vbac?

If so after how many sections?

Not preg but not entirely sure I am done & in a few years if I settle down I'd like to at least consider a Vbac..

I've had 2 sections, 1 emerg, 1 planned, 2 big-ish babies (8lbs+ & 9lbs+)....

Thanks

There's a long ongoing thread on this: just search "support for imminent VBACers"...I think that's what it's called

I only had a VBAC after one aesarean but understand there is about the same risk after 2 caesareans. But I had the pleasure of attending a home waterbirth after 3 caesareans a couple of years back.

I know 2 people who have had a vbac after 1 section. I had 2, both emergencies as I was trying for a vbac with my second dc. I was told I would definitely have a section for my 3rd.

Thanks all.
The thread "Support for imminent VBACers" isn't really appropriate for me, I'm thinking years ahead so not exactly imminent but thankyou

Thats the thing Prosecco I'm not sure I want to risk a failed VBAC or not, part of me feels as though I have missed out on Childbirth ..
DD was emerg section after a 8hr labour, 6cms dilation & her not dropped/engaged and v high up (waters were artificially broken also). DS, I was told throughout my pregnancy if I went into labour great, they never told me what would happen if I didnt.
Well i didnt go into labour and at 41+3 was told I was having a section at 41+6 ..

I am grateful for having 2 healthy babies and I know it really doesn't matter what way they come out but I think I'd like to try Vbac....

Hmmmm....decisions!
