VBAC 22 months after c-section?

Temp937723687505543 · May 2011

I know one of the things that can make one higher risk during a VBAC is a c-section in the last two years. It will be approximately 22 months since my c-section and am hoping I'll still be a good candidate. Any success stories?

I've heard of many people who have had vbacs less than 2 years between deliveries. I've actually heard that 18 months is often the recommendation. It's really up to the doctor of whether they'll 'allow' you to have a TOL. I wouldn't be worried at 22 months between, personally.

I wouldn't worry about 22 months either - I've heard of successful VBACs anywhere from 12 months and on. Mine will be 25 months apart.

My c/s and VBAC were 26 months apart but I have friends who have had 12 months and a few days between births and a VBA2C 21 months after her last c/s.

I remember reading when I was planning my.first VBAC that your incision site is as strong as its going to be after an insanely sort time (like weeks).

My girls are 25 months apart, though my care providers didn't care at all how close they were. 22 months sounds great to me.

My doc said I was a good candidate and mine will be 18 months apart. I'm going for a VBA2C (those previous csections were 18 months apart as well) so I wouldn't think there would be reason to consider you high risk. Good luck!

My ob said I could get pregnant whenever I wanted to, and try for a vbac.
