Just found out we're preganant with baby no.2! DD is 11 months old and was born by emergency C-section after a 20 hour labour. I was told that I had something called Bandl's Ring (or Bandels/Bandals don't know!) and I'm finding it really difficult to find any further information. i'm meeting with the consultant at 16 weeks and would really like to know whether I do have the option of VBAC and what the risks may be before going to see her in case I'm told it's elective section and that's it - i'd like to have a bit more information myself first. Anyone know any more about this and/or anyone had a VBAC with Bandl's Ring?? Would appreciate any information/advice,
Catla xx

thanks for that, I've been busy googling and emailing AIMS for more info but really hope to hear from someone who's been 'had' bandl's ring and a section and then succesfully had VBAC - I think I would feel more confident to request to try and deliver naturally - even the health professionals I have spoken to don't seem to know much about it, some have not even heard of it... Thanks for the link xx
