I know it is still early but just curious who will be RCS or are you going to try for a VBac? I will be a RCS . I know I am not the norm, since I had an amazing birth even though it was an emergency situation. My dr's were amazing, I did skin to skin right away. My recovery was also really great...worried a bit about doing it with a 3 yr old this time around. Also my mom came to stay last time and was here for 10 weeks, but she passed away so I have a lot of anxiety about not having her around ....

I hope that link worked. If not just go to search and type in VBAC and you will find the old thread.

I am opting for a RCS most likely. I was in labor a for 30 hours before I started pushing, then pushed for 4 hours, and she didn't come out. No one knows why she didn't come out, but they think it's the shape or angle of my pelvic bone. I'm not risking the same experience again.
I delivered DD vaginally last time, but she got stuck right near her shoulders. The doctors had to basically pull, wiggle, and yank her out. Which lead to other complications right after delivery. So this time we are opting for a c-section from the start.
I'm still really nervous about the c section though.
im not sure what my options will be because I am pregnant now just 7 months later, and my doctor told me to wait 9 before another.
I'm curious to hear about everyone's surgery experience. I was so out of it I don't even remember holding my DD for the first time. And I'd like to know how I can make my second one better

I pushed hard for a vbac with my second son because of my experience with the first. The vbac went so smoothly and I got to enjoy the first moments after birth that I missed the first time around. The days after birth were so much easier and enjoyable for me.
I will be hoping for the same this time around, but will obviously do whatever is best and safest for the baby. A c-section is a major surgery and I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I want to try for a VBAC this time, but my hospital is not super VBAC friendly, but my OB is optimistic about it. She thinks the hospital might say no since these two will be 21 months apart, and they prefer at least 24 months in between c-sections. I would not be sad with a RCS though.

I am for sure having a RCS. 23 hours of labor after my water broke to end up at -2 station and only 7cm? Yeah no thanks. I'm not mad about being able to plan adequate care for my toddler either.
When I finally meet my new OB in a few weeks, I'm discussing getting my tubes tied while they're in there. Closing up shop.
