So I'm 38weeks 4 days. I'm going to try a vbac but my doctor told me that if i don't go into labor…

SAme here😐 but my doula says technically u don’t have to agree to a c section right on ur due date 🤷🏻‍♀️ cause most people need extra time

I'm just wondering why you have to have a c section if you don't go into labor before 40 weeks, is it really medically necessary?

I was induced and delivered vaginally so I don't know much about the circumstances around c sections.

They were planning on letting me go for as long as I needed to to go into labor when a vbac was my plan, but my son is breech and there's too many factors that could cause complications doing a vbac breech birth, so 39 week c section it is. It makes me sad, but at least it won't be an emergency c section this time around (unless I go into labor before July 2nd).

Exactly if there’s no medical condition why do we get set up with that failure just because of a previous c section makes no sense .

@wheelercharle4, my first born was breech, that’s why I also had a c section. I actually had an appointment on the day I was going into the hospital to try to turn her. Then found out I was in labor had no idea😳

@leroydoom idk they say it's risky being induced that I can have a uterine rupture.

@maya......, I was told the same with my daughter. But I spoke to my doctor and we agreed as long as they’re are no complications with fluid levels I’d go to at least 41 weeks before considering being induced or have a c section. Luckily for me my daughter came on her own 3 days before the 41 week mark.

It depends on why you had a c section the first time around and other factors

Why would he go straight to c section babe I delivered at 41 weeks and 2 days my water still didn’t break I had to be induced but I delivered vaginally with no problem

Oh ok I read the other comments hopefully you get what u want!!!
