So I had to have a c-section with my son, but I’m planning on having a VBAC with the next baby. Are there any moms who’ve had a successful VBAC? What did you do to prepare? How far apart are your kids? I’m just looking for some advice to help my future baby and me be as safe as possible.
The reason for my c-section was essentially because the doctor thought I was fully dilated, but I wasn’t. So when he had me start pushing, it made what was left of my cervix swell up. He then told me he felt it would be safer to go with surgery. There were a few other things I think led up to the conclusion I got, but that’s the simple version. I know chances of a successful VBAC are lower if your c-section was because of a problem in labor, so I thought I should prepare in every way I can before I get pregnant again.
