Hi everyone just need to ask you guys what happens if you go into labour b4 your planned c section ?
IM 32 weeks on monday and had my consultant appointment this week id previous had a growth scan as im huge lol but noone told me whay it meany buy he was above the 95th percentile and I have a lot of waters. When I asked him if the babyvwas big for his dates he said that it didn't matter as I was having a c section anyway. Sobi thought fair enough lol

But then I asked when id be booked in he said next appointment in 4 weeks id be booked for the c section so my next question was what happens if I go into labour while waiting for the op and his reply was if im progressing well then I would have to vabac I told him point blank that if that was to happen I would not have a vabac I understand if its too late and babas head is out then itd be a no but I wouldn't exactly leave myself gey that far without goin the hospital he then said nothing and said hes see me in 4 week when I would have a c section date I am however very worried now this is my second child my first was a section due to medical and phycological problems any feedback much appreciated thankyou x
 
Heya hun. They cannot force a vbac. I had a csection previously due to tokophobia and will be having this one. Last time consultant wasnt gna book my date til 36 wks but my therapist and mw contacted consultant and asked to be booked sooner so at 28 wks I got my date. This time I see consultants sidekick and she said she will see me at 36 wks to discuss my mode of delivery I said will be csection. My mw is mad and is gonna get consultant to see me before 28 wks as there is no way I will be having anything but a csection. She said if I did go into labour sooner I would be taken down for in effect and emcs

Get onto your mw hun and explain your worries and that yiu want a date sooner.

Xx
 
I was pretty much full term but had a scheduled c-section for Dec 4th. On Dec 2nd my water broke and there was meconium present. I still had an emergency c-section. Just refuse the vbac and if they say no, request to see someone else/be transported to a different hospital. Just make sure you go in as soon as your water breaks/you start getting semi regular contractions. Don't wait. That way you have time to argue.

You could also write up a birth plan saying you ONLY want a c-section so in the event that they do make you go through a vbac, you have written proof that they knew and you can sue if anything goes wrong. You could also get a doula so that they could argue your birth plan with the medical professionals in case your labor has progressed to a point where you are unable to.
