VBAC question

3 replies

I'm ttc #4 after 3 CS.
I've done a bit of research online (so not sure how reliable it is) and have found several places that say a VBAC is possible after more than one CS.
Does anyone have any experience of this?

My first 2 were emergencies, the third I wasn't given a choice. I know this doesn't make any difference, but just wondered if there might be a chance to have a VB?

Bumping for you.
A friend recently had an elective CS after 3 emergency CS; I had the impression that she was given the choice of VBAC. I know that she wishes she'd gone for trial VBAC.

My personal experience of VBAC is only after 1 CS but I found a lot of help and support online - more than in real life! I know there are plenty of people out there who have had VBA3C even if consultants try to tell you it's not possible/advisable. Midwives are often more supportive and helpful. I can tell you the websites I found useful if you like. Don't know whether it's ok to link to other forums on here. HTH a bit!

Thanks

I've found loads of positive stories about it, but no negative, which makes me think that either it's a good thing, or no-one is telling their bad experiences.
A few websites say that it is less risky than multiple CS's.
