Anyone got experience of natural delivery after previous caesarian?

[Allypally16]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have just found out that I won't be having another c-section as I thought (bit of a shock). I've only heard bad things when people have attempted to deliver 2nd baby naturally after a c-section with first one. I'm hoping to hear some positive stories.
Really worried about going down the emergency caesarian route again!

If you have a look for VBAC over on the childbirth board there are lots of positive stories. :)

I hope the VBAC goes OK for you. I only had an EMCS 3 months ago and I'm already thinking about what the impact on another pregnancy and birth would be.

hi there, i have no personal experience but my mums 2nd DC was and EMC but her 3rd DC was a natural 12hour VB. so it is possible...GOODLUCK

I had a natural 2nd labour after my 1st was an EMCS and it was fine. It's the best way to give birth from your bodies and the babies perspective so try not to worry it's what you were designed to do.

They will want to monitior you more closely and they won't let you labour for as long as they don't want to cause stress on the old scar but 2nd time around should be easier anyway.

Yes - 2 successful vbacs. There is tonnes on the childbirth section about it. It's fairly normal for consultants to suggest it now if they don't have specific reasons as to why first ended in emcs ( or you don't really want an elective second time round). I'd go natural any day.
