I have 4 children, the last 3 have all been c sections because my first was a shoulder dystocia and i had to go to theatre to be repaired after a 3rd degree tear. I have just found out im pregnant again and so desperately want a natural delivery. I have read so much and its all very confusing, some say no way but ive read where others have had natural deliverys and they have been fine. Does any1 know actual percentages of a scar rupture. im going to the hospital next week and want to go with all my facts before they try to talk me in to anything. Thanks.

Have you read Stand and Deliver by Emma Mahony.
There are some wonderful positive stories in there.
Percentage of scar rupture is 1 in 200

Am I allowed is a great book also Birth after Caesarian by Jenny Leslie and Your Birth Rights by Pat Thomas.

Do not be talked into anything you don't want-you are the mother, its your baby.

My friend had a VBAC after 3 c-sections. I can put you in touch with her if you like she is very enthusiastic about it!
