This is my 2nd pregnancy my first is 5 I had a c-section now I have the choice to have a c-section again or vaginal . I…

Me too. I think I'm going to have another c section even though the first was an emergency.

Why do you want to have another c section ? I know you get to choose the date then . Either way I am scared

If I could do a vbac I would but my doc told me I have 10% chance of ever having a vaginal birth because how narrow my hips are so c section for me I really don't want it but at least I will know when it is

I've done both ways, there are pros and cons to both. If I had the choice I would go naturally because the healing time is quicker and your baby pretty much never leaves your site, where as a c-section you have to wait till you get to your room before you see them

keep in mind if you choose to go with a c-section, being your 2nd one if you have another child later and you want to have a vaginal birth it will be real difficult- nearly impossible to find or convince a doctor to help you with a VBAC after 2 cesareans

there are pros and cons with both but you should do what makes you comfortable, my oldest is 5 as well but i had a vaginal delivery with her and should be having a vaginal delivery this time as well

@lizg915, If you're in Florida, it's one of the hardest states to allow a vbac. I had an emergency c section with my first.. I lived in Texas when I had my second and third and they allowed me vbacs... this is my forth, I live in Florida...all the Dr's at my practice had to have a conference to decide if they would allow me to do a vbac..... I was approved BUT only if she decided to come on her own. I just went to my 39 week check up today and my dr said next week we have to talk about scheduling a c section if she doesn't want to come on her own by 41 weeks.. they won't do any induction since there is uteran scarring from my c section which could cause uteran rupture that can potentially cause me or baby to die...yikes!

Try a vbac forsure! I just had my second by csection after a failed vbac and I'm really proud of myself for trying my daughters head was turned and she was in a weird position where she wouldn't come down after pushing for 2 hours.

@babyhawkins2015, is it really? My doctor didn't even think twice about me trying for a vbac. They did mention that they won't induce if a vbac is wanted. I have a lot of scarring and since I was cut with a T shape this time I can't try for anymore vbacs

@lilyandkaidynsmommy, yes.. it's crazy...in Texas, vbacs were no big deal...here in Florida..not so much. I have no clue why

Wow that's weird. I made sure my doctor would do vbacs before I picked her though
