Just curious, has anyone on here attempted a VBAC after two cesareans? I started this pregnancy determined to try for a VBAC despite having had two csections. Then I came across an article about a woman who died during a VBAC, so I changed my mind back to an elective. But, after looking more into statistics I'm really leaning towards a VBAC again. I'm so torn. Would love to hear personal stories from other moms who have attempted it!
@debrabeck, it went well. labor for 5 pushed for 1. no the pushing didnt affect my scar at all. the only complication was tearing but that was doctors fault. baby and I were fine
@dnhmommy3, how was your first VBAC? I've really that with each VBAC your risk is less and less. Could you feel any strain on your scar as you pushed? I'm really worried about that and it causing me to have anxiety attacks (thinking that it's rupturing or something).
the if can be scary, but you can do it! :) as long as you know you are healthy, just feel empowered and take control!
@mrsgeorge, that's encouraging to hear!! I've read lots of success stories online, but in the back of my mind I'm still just like "what if.."
@levleah, she says it's totally up to me as long as I continue with a normal, healthy pregnancy. Statistically speaking there's more risk having a third cesarean than there is a vba2c. (1% risk with VBAC and 3% with csection). But I guess what can happen IF those risks occur that make it so risky. 😞😞 the thought of having to go through another csection just makes me want to cry. Lol
I have a few friends who has successful vbacs! they loved it. if you're healthy and your doctor agrees, go for it!
I have no personal experience with this, but I've heard they're pretty risky (vbacs). What does your OB think?
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
June VBAC mom's
Hey, wondering who here is preparing for a VBAC?
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
So torn so after BIG fight with bf he calls and is actually nice to me but I haven't made it clear to him that I'm keeping the baby . I know once I say I'm not getting an abortion he's going to put me on block again and be mean and rude . But then on the other side I have my supportive mother who is so excited about being a first time grandma and wants me to keep it and deep down I want to have my baby . I've been through a abortion and it was so horrible. Idk what to do because the two main peo...
I also recently found out that I can't take maternity leave only having been at my job since March... I must put in my two weeks when I am ready, and be completely rehired back after baby and recovery from second c section 😰😰😰😰 I'm so worried. What if they don't hire me back, and I have a two year old and an infant and no job. I am terrified about this
@debrabeck, I'd say trust your dr! Sounds like you've done your research and it's worth trying for since your dr also agrees.
