Hello all,
I'm currently 32 weeks in my 3rd pregnancy. My first birth was an induction that resulted in failed forceps so had an emergency C section, my second was a planned C Section despite feeling pressured into it after wanting a VBAC and this time I'd love to try for a VBA2C.
my main consultant won't really listen or try to understand why I'd like to try a vbac and is trying to push for another C Section. I'm told about uterine rupture which I know the chances are very low.
However I saw another consultant yesterday and after explaining the type of birth I'd like she was on board with the idea of a VBA2C. I actually felt heard for once and like I wasn't just being forced into another c section just because I've already had 2.
I was told an induction wouldn't be advised as it can cause a higher chance of uterine rupture but doesn't see why I can't try a vaginal birth. I also have a cardiac history of a previous heart defect which was fixed but my cardiac scans all seem perfect during my pregnancy and is on board with a natural birth.
If it turns out I definitely can't do a vba2c after the consultant getting more information for me and seeing if it's doable or not or I see if my body can put me into spontaneous labour before a certain date then fair enough I'll have the C Section but this is something I really want to try.
