Is there anyone on here thats had a natural birth after a c section?

Question

Im 20 weeks pregnant with my second baby and desparatly want to avoid a c section, Had to have a section with my first as she got distressed, I had quite a long labour and an epidural slowed my contractions and stopped dilating at 4 and half cm.I know its supposed to be possible but i dont know anyone thats done it? It would be great to hear from anyone thats done it and if they have any tips. thankyou

Answer 1

My sister in law had a natural birth after a c-section. All went well. She said the natural birth was better because you feel exhausted after a c-section. Her kids are only 2 years apart.

Answer 2

It's definately possible to have a successful VBAC with out any complications.   You must discuss this with your OBGYN.  Some doctors refuse to do VBACS and some hospitals and insurance plans also don't allow them.  Check into it.  It is a good choice if you are able to do it safely.  

Answer 3

My mother-in-law had her first two by c-section and then had a natural birth with her last (although her second and third children were 6 years apart so that may have had something to do with it).

Good luck!

Answer 4

My daughter delivered her second baby naturally after a c-section with her first.. It went very well, even though baby#2 weighed 10 lbs! As long as the reason for the first c-section wasnt because you have a narrow pelvis or something like that, you should be just fine. Of course, this is a decision you need to make with your doctor, but know that its possible!

Good luck!
