Vbac question

c0untrymom

Ok i am new to this I am a mother of 2 with one on the way, we just found out. I am wanting to have this one natural, my first two was by c-section.  When I had my DD 9 years ago they had to do a c-section because i had preclampsia, and she only weighed 6# 2oz. With my DS i wanted to have him natural but the doctor said because I had my daughter by c-section and was probably because she was to big there would be no way that I could have my son natural, he weighed 8# 15oz. I guess my question is even after 2 c-section would it be possible to even consider a natural birth, any input would be greatly appreciated.

It is still a possibility.  Most vbac supportive Drs consider a vba2c as safe as a vba1c.

Yes, absolutely!  There are many many women who have had VBA2C. 

Best of luck to you!

You absolutely can!  Find a good support team, midwives etc. and educate yourself on all of the risks and benefits!  If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Have you checked in with ican to see if you can find a local provider who supports vba2c? (https://ican-online.org/chapter/search) You might need to change providers or hospitals to find a provider who will work with you. Remember, you will not change your doc's mind/philosophy. Find one who already shares yours.

Thanks alot I checked it out but the closest one to me is close to 3 hours away.  The small town where I live the closest hospital that even does deliverys is almost an hour away. Am hoping they will be willing to participate.
