A VBAC with less than 18 months after section?

Has anyone done this safely? I haven't talked to prospective doctors yet. Thanks!

I am hoping to do it. My LO is due in May, which will make it 14 months between c-sections. I talked to my doctor on Friday and she is open to letting me try VBAC if I go into labor on my own. I'm happy for the possibility!

I would have had a vbac 17 months after my csection.p, but I lost the baby. My ob was still fully supportive of my wish to vbac. He had given me no time restraints between pregnancies.

So sorry to hear that, Holly!

If all goes well I will be having one in May as well. My dr is extremely supportive despite a c section this past March.

. Thank you. I appreciate that. I have since vbaced, and my deliveries were only 21 months apart.

I will try for a vbac in January, 12 months after my C/S

Your doctor allowed you to have a vbac? Mine is going to be almost 12 months after csection. But I am not sure if my doctor will go for it.

The group of doctors I go to initially tried to say oh you have to have a c/s but after more talking and being a nurse they said they all apparently met and discussed it and decided that they were okay with me trying as long as I go into labor on my own and by my due date, but they never seemed really concerned with the fact it was less than 18 months....where I live VBAC is not the norm so that is why I think I really had to voice how I felt to get all the doctors to take me seriously. From the research I have done there is not much literature that says being less than 18 months post c/s puts us at greater risk for UR. the problem I think is more there are just not many studies out there about UR in less than 18 months post c/s. Before you talk to your doc make sure to do some reading up on it and stick to how you feel....I am hoping for a vbac and will do everything I can to help my chances but no that in the end it is in God's hands

Yeah I have been researching a lot! I was really pushed around with my first delivery. I trusted them...but then afterwards I thought about it and my csection was preventable. Thanks for the info! I will def. take your advice!
