VBAC or repeat C-Section

C-Section Mamas,

If you plan to have another child are you going to try for a VBAC or get another C/S?  I have to discuss with my doctor, research, and it all depends how far apart my pregnancies are.  From the little research I've done VBACs don't look very successful. 

Just curious...

    I really need to do some more research, but if everything goes well with my pregnancy I would like a VBAC

    I had a great c/section experience so I will do a repeat c/s next time

    Ditto, I also plan on talking to my ob about it as well to see what she thinks.

    I'm not sure.  Part of me wants to try a vbac, but I don't know what the lesser of two evils is.  At least with a c-section I know what I'm in for next time.

    After attempting a vaginal and everything I experienced with my C-Section b/c of it, I am going straight to the C/S. 

    DD got stuck after pushing for 2 hours and would not come out when they performed my C/S.  It was VERY traumatic and the 2 OBs were panicking, I think one almost passed out (she had to leave very quickly), DH almost passed out, and I ended up so drugged up I didn't wake up for a couple hours!  It was crazy and definitely memorable, but I will save myself and DH from experiencing that again and go straight for the C/S.

    I agree. My c/s was great as far as major surgery goes. I would do another again and plan to for our next baby.

    I'm gonna try for a VBAC.  I'd hate not to at least try.

    I didn't want to have a C/S in the first place and do not want to repeat it.

    C/S all the way.  my OB said i could try for a VBAC if i wanted to, but that more than likely it would end the same.  sure, she could be wrong. but i do NOT want to go through the hell i went through with charlie again! i will just pick a birthday and skip-i-dee-doo-da in.  flame me if you wish, but my labor was TRAUMATIC.

    I had a repeat C/S so there is no VBAC option left for me for future pregnancies.

    Yep. Same for me. My first was born vaginally, so we went with a Primary Elective c-sec this time around... I'd rather do a c-sec again than suffer with the pain I did from my vaginal tearing. :)

    Definitely a repeat c/s for me.  I've done the 12 hours of labor followed by a c/s bit, and have no desire to repeat the experience.  VBAC's are 50% successful in the best selected cases... those odds are just too rough for me.
