Second attempt vbac

[shas19]

had my first emc 2014 42 weeks after being in labour for 38hrs and fetal destress got to 5cm, second 2018 37 weeks ftp at 3 cm after about a day. Im now pregnant again and adamant i want a vbac. Of course if needs must and labour isnt going the right away and baby is in danger i wilk have to have another emc. Can i refuse it? Can i try for the vbac?

Everywhere ive looked there is no evidence that the risk of uterine rupture is significantly worse than vbac1. Uterine rupture is very rare also so im noy actually worried about that. Theres risks with both delivery methods, c section definitely has bigger risks and a worse recovery!

I had 3 VB's prior to my CS, I didn't find cs recovery harder than vb. If you've never had one you have nothing to compare it to. I have more trouble with the scar tissue from a bad tear with our 3rd than I do my cs scar. I would still opt for vb over a cs but that's mainly because I want to spend as little time out of the gym as possible (I lift heavy).
You just need to stick to your guns with the consultants, so long as you show willingness to change plans if needed they should have no problem giving you the chance of vbac.
Good luck when D-day comes.

I've had 2 successful vaginal births following 2 emergency caesareans. I did read through the literature and had discussions with my consultant and my consultant made me speak to a second consultant the first time round. You're right as the risk of rupture isn't vastly increased after a 2nd caesarean

@ShroomShroom thank you!! How did they go? Fid u get induced or have any sweeps? Im going to have a look at the link now, so good hesring from someone that has actually done it. I will defo do loads of research on it first but i really want this to be as natural as possible

No induction as my consultant wouldn't induce if you'd had a c-section before, no sweep either. I did go into labour naturally but was told that if I went to 42 weeks then I would have a c-section. I went into labour just before the 42 week deadline both times

@shroomshroom i was induced with both so i think my hospital allow induction but i had to be monitored! Hopefulky this baby comes out on its own accord thiugh because i hated induction

@chelyanne ill defo be sticking to my guns with this! Of course if labour doesnt go ghe right way then ill have the section but would like to at least try

@shas19
I had a VBAC2 with my fifth baby but neither of my previous reasons for sections were down to ftp
DS1 large baby section at 42w in labour 10cm due to be scared by the consultant about big baby (9lbs 1oz)
VBAC1 fast labour (1.5hrs)
Section 2 for twins in labour for misdiagnosed vasa previa
VBAC2 three hour labour on due date, 4 hours before consultant appointment to arrange section (9lb 9oz)
I had to move hospital to find a consultant to support my choice

there are people with more than 2 sections that have gone on to have a normal delivery

Who are these people? Unknown where I am.

There* * is greater risks involved with repeat sections
Nothing like the risk of attempting a VBAC following two sections, which were due to ftp 🙄

You are so misinformed it's shocking.

Please speak to your medical team and listen to them.

@earingsandlipstip no sorry i think you might be misinformed. Take a look on support for vbac uk facebook, PLENTY of SUCCESSFUL stories, women wity for than 3 sections and SUCCESSFULLY delivered. Btw, bith werent failure to progress. But thanks
