Caesarean section

Hey everybody, I'm pregnant with my third baby but I've had 2 Caesarion section with my first two (emergency & planned)
I'm wondering if I can have natural birth with my third? I really want to do natural birth but I've been told it's impossible as my scar might split. Has anyone had natural birth after a c section?
Thank you x

I've just had my second c section and was given the option of a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarian). It does carry a few extra risks but lots of people do it - I chose to stick with another c section though as I had a good experience with my first.

After this one the doctor did say if I have another baby I will need a c section so I think maybe 2 sections is the limit before it becomes too risky to try a vaginal birth. I'm not 100% though, I didn't ask any questions as I'm not planning on another.

You definitely can. My mum had c-sec, natural birth, natural birth, c-sec. Perhaps your scar is more difficult because you had two in a row? I'd ask them more questions about why they think you are at more risk of problems than others, so you can make an informed choice.
