VBAC

[Leightonsmom]

Has anyone had a VBAC? If so, how was the experience? I had a csection with my daughter 5 years ago. I'm 27 and 6 weeks pregnant. I'm considering a VBAC.

If you can have a vbac, I think it's actually safer, but it's all up to the woman!

If this helps any, my OB has been super supportive of the VBAC. She says given the right conditions, the location of the scar, and the babies weight, and if the reason for previous cesarean is not an issue then trying for a vbac can be successful. We are going to try for the vbac as long as my body starts on its own. Getting induced and the use of pitocin are dangerous from what she says and the hospital I am delivering at is equipped for emergency cesarean incase problems arise. I'm still scared of something happening but after reading and researching,  if you can have a vbac

My sister had one. She said one of the most important factors of a successful vbac was a Dr committed to its success.

I've had family friends have successful VBACs. Personally, I feel c-sections are pushed on women because it is easier for doctors unless it is medically necessary; your baby is breach and unable to be turned, baby is too large to fit through, too small of a pelvis there's really no need to get a c-section, or a medical emergency with mother or baby.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant,my doctor we won't let me get a vbac, she said its to risky since I have a small pelvic. I have 1 csection and my first I had her natural but she only weight 6 pounds.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I have been planning a VBAC from the time I found out. I posted a question on here about this too, and didn't get much feedback, so I am looking forward to seeing the responses as well.
