Looking for success stories - VBA2C?

[Birthoptionss]

Hi everyone!

Expecting DC3 and need to think about birth options.

DC1 was delivered via emcs - very rushed, stressful and overall not the best experience

DC2 was a planned c section delivery - so calm, so quick, I wasn’t exhausted from labouring and it was just amazing

Based on that, I’d love another planned c section HOWEVER my circumstances are so different this time round. I will have less support in the early days, school run to do, nursery runs… 2 other children in general to look after! So the recovery from a c section will inevitably bring a fair amount of stress.

I appreciate things can change and I could end up with another emcs even if I was to try to deliver vaginally but thinking it might be wise to give it a go and hope for the best.

Any successfully VBA2C stories?!

I’m interested in this too! DS2 was born via EMCS in July (DS1 was planned section), I don’t even know tbh if I want anymore kids, but I’m still interested in case I want another baby after years haha. In the leaflet the hospital gave me about my VBAC (I was trying for a VBAC with DS2 but it ended in an emergency section), it said that they do VBAC after one or two sections, but it depends on personal circumstances of course.
