I fell pregnant 10mths after my last csection so put it down to that. Then a lady posted about her scar the other week and it seemed some people said it was normal others not so I asked my ob today. It appears I'm retaining fluid and need a belly brace. I'm 15wks with my 2nd and already showing. I ripped some muscles yesterday way to easily so wish I'd asked him earlier, but anyway a bit of support may help ease your pain too so thought I'd respond :)

Ok just wondering. Things are different in different areas. Btw im 4 foot 10 inches with a very small pelvis and still being alowed to have a vbac. Rarely sure baby get stuck bc your to small. Also you don't have to go into labor by 39 weeks to have a vbac its just like any other pregnancy. And your scar riping open is called uterine rupture and it is extremely rare. Plus there are warning signs to watch for before it happens so if it comes to that they just take you to or and perform csection before it happens usually and everything is fine. My mother had me emergency cesarean bc my cird was wrapped around my neck and they almost lost me. Then she turned around and have birth 100% natural including no drugs to my brother 10 lbs 3 oz.  I'm sorry your doctor thinks you have to have another csection. Best of luck.

There are no doctors in my area that are willing to do a vbac. I would if I could but the closest birthing center that would be willing to to let me do it is 3 hours away :(

I wanted to but I can't have a baby natural due to my pelvic area being way to small for a baby to fit thru . I would end up with another csection if I went into labor on my own cause my scar from my last csection can tear back open . And only way you can have a vbac is if you go into labor on your own at or before 39 weeks . I had a csection last pregnancy cause my sons cord was wrapped around his neck twice and he wouldn't drop down and his heart rate kept dropping everytime he tryed to drop down . And I wouldn't dilate past 3.5 cm no matter how strong my contractions were . I have no signs of goin into labor on my own at this point and have 22 days left till my scheduled csection .

This is just curiosity question bc ik not everyone can and please dint v take offense I mean none. Just wondering why it seems like no one wants to have a vbac and just keeps having csections? Again Ik it's not an option for everyone. Just wondering.

It may be where the incision was made, you should probably check with your doctor before you experience anything else . This could even be helpful to me . Lol!
