C section then vaginal birth?

ShanandBoc · Mar 5th, 2011, 20:16 PM

Just wondering if their are any mummies who had a section first time but then went on to have vaginal delivery afterwards?

We want more kids but im so terrirfied of going through another section, it was awful

Was it an emergency? I had emergency first time and elective next. Was totally different experience. Much more calm and relaxed and the healing much easier on me x

Emergency, more so for me than bubs, i had been in labour for 18 hours and wasnt progresing, and been having contractions for 2 days before that.

She was also posterior and got stuck in my pelvis, but she was happy the whole time lol.

So i dont know if its best to have an elective next time or just let nature take its course? Would that depend on if the next baby is posterior again?

How does an elective cesarean work? Do they wait until u go into labour naturally?

You get taken in a week early and section you. Where im from you get a choice if you want elective after a section. I was determined for a vbac. But as it got closer my baby stopped moving and I was worried so when they asked me again I opted for elective. Turns out I just had a big baby in there. So unfortunately I dont have a choice third time. Its automatic section now. I felt quite sad to begin with that I wil neverexperience childbirth and hav never had a labour pain but my second section was such a positive experience I dont mind any more. I even got the screen lowered to see baby coming out so I felt like I had gave birth x

Yeh its hard to think you may never have a child naturally, but the main thing you are both safe and that baby does arrive, however that happens. We are lucky we have that option these days

Thanks for your help, i appreciate it

you can have what is called a vbac. which is virginal (sp) birth after c section. Im hoping for one this time. Your options will be discussed when your pregnant. I have been told its an option for me. There are risks of a scar rupture but the risk is lower than a risk from having a section. you cant get over due now nor can you be induced. my options are either to have a section at 39 weeks or from 38 weeks will have sweeps then if possible at 40 weeks my waters broken. if that dont work then it would be a section. I get a scan at 36 weeks to see position of baby. But as someone above said a planned section is a lot nicer than a emergency one. Mine was planned as kacey was breach. i new the day i would have her and it was very calm. i recovered very quick to

There is a couple of VBAC stories in the birth and announcement section at the moment, i also hope to have a VBAC next time round

I am hoping for a VBAC next time, and in most places they will let you go the normal 2 weeks overdue, they just don't like to induce you and they pretty much definitely don;t put you on the oxytocin drip, so you will normally have a section planned for around 2weeks over. Apparently 80% of people who opt for a VBAC will deliver vaginally but only something like 25-30% of people opt to try! I will be definitely trying!
