Oh hun that sucks, remember though they all use the scary statistics, when in reality it is not that scary.
I too have had 2 c-sections and if this one is sticking around determined to have a VBA2C. My first cection was due to placenta previa and happened at 37 weeks so i never went to inot labour. So second time around i thought i went into labor(i was 42 weeks), contractions etc and went to Hospital where they proceeded to strap me to the bed (not literally but may as well have been as wasn't allowed to walk around etc ?) and was there all day then c-section. Basically they took the easy way out, rather than send me home and let me go into actual labor and come back etc due to previous c-section i guess. All the info i found out after the fact. So i'm still pissed about that. This time i am well informed and will be using an iron fist haha. Do some research hun, all that crap about uterine rupture etc, it really is EXTREMELY rare. xx
ETA: Spotting is minimal literally only when i wipe
Yay for another c-section momma!! Not that I wish that upon ANYONE but it makes me feel less alone!! I DO NOT want another c-section but with them all being back to back, I don't think I stand a chance
I'm thinking about getting in to see a midwife once I have my dating scan and see if they think I have any options!! My first c-section was an emergency because my sons heart rate dropped and they couldn't get it back up.. After 12 hours of labor on full dose of pitocin, because his heart rate dropped not long after I got to the hospital so they admitted me, hooked me up to the pitocin drip and put in an internal monitor (which they did wrong and clipped it to my cervix and then the baby's head and completely stopped me from dilating anymore) so when they were positive I would be 10 cms due to max contractions they found out the monitor wasn't put in properly and I hadn't dilated anymore, still only at 4 cms.. Then his heart rate dropped and they rushed me away to surgery!! So robbed
With my daughter she was a repeat c-section, wouldn't allow a VBAC because of the short gap between (even though I tried to at least get a trial of labor.. no dice) but my water broke 4 weeks early and I was taken in for another "emergency" c-section.. This one my doc says no way to a VBA2C which is why I would like to see a midwife!! I hope you get your VBA2C, I want that sooooooo bad!! How old are your kids!?
As for the spotting, it doesn't sound like anything to be worried about!! I'm sure that lil baby is snuggled in tight!!
