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.
My kids are 20 months apart. I had a successful VBAC. Stayed active...I even had GD. I also used evening primose oil capsules (inserted and orally). Also drank that tea ...forgot if it's called red raspberry leaf tea..? I gave birth at 41 weeks though. The reason I had a csection was because I was induced...my body was just not ready!
Following...freaking out about my VBAC
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Had my OB appointment this morning and he wants me to have another C-Section 🙄 apparently the chances of me having a successful VBAC is under 50% .. I still want to try for one though 😐

Had my baby girl feb 8,19
She weight 8 pound 10 oz
And did a success VBAC 🙏🏼💕 thank to God
I’m scheduled for a c section Thursday and I’m a bit nervous.
Have any of you had a c section? If so what was your experience?
Have y’all ladies heard of VBAC? I’ve been doing my research and my doctor had said I would be able to deliver my baby vaginally since I had my 1st vaginally and my son with an emergency c section. Has anyone had one and succeeded?
@sofie321, I don’t think my body was ready either. I was 41 weeks when they induced and I wasn’t showing any signs of labor. I was in labor that whole day, but it stopped for about 10 hours when I got an epidural. It started again the next day and I appeared ready. I definitely didn’t feel ready though. Everyone pushed for an induction and, eventually, the c-section, because they thought my baby would be really really big. He wasn’t haha. Just really long. I do know I want to wait to go into labor next time. And if I can, try not to have an epidural. I think both those things messed everything up.
