Decided on my birth plan.

Hi girls.

I had a c-section first time, emergency c-section 2nd time (after almost 50 hour labour - was a nightmare, I almost died in the end).

This time around I really want to try for a VBAC again, but am scared that it will happen again as last time.

Do you think I can negotiate with my doctor, that if there is no progression of labour for 12 hours, or if I'm not fully dilated after 16-18, they give me a c-section, even if at that point it won't be classified as emergency yet?

I desperately want a VBA2C, but having healthy me and baby is what counts.

I think any Dr would be more than willing to comply with that request

NDH - Thank you I will have a meeting with my doctor on the 14th and will discuss with her.
