Hi Ladies,
Just wondering if anyone has had an unsuccessful VBAC and then gone on to have a successful VBAC?
We're thinking about baby #3 now and trying to conceive soon so I'm wondering about another VBAC
Baby #1 was csection for FTP after about 25 hrs induced labour (april 2010)
Baby #2 was another csection for FTP after 24 hrs natural labour (august 2012)
I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since welcoming baby # 2 and have learned that that can have a big negative impact on labour..I believe I would have had it during both pregnancies (just undiagnosed) as I had so many of the symptoms.
Anyone have any related experience to share with me? Am I crazy to want to try again (assuming my thyroid is under control/medicated this time)??
Thanks for any advice!!
Re: Attempting a VBA2C after an unsuccessful VBAC??
DS2 - Oct 2010 (my VBAC baby!)
I had a total freak out prior to my 2nd child where I decided that if my VBAC failed I'd be done having kids 'cause I just didn't want to keep repeating the surgery. We were luckily successful so here I am preggo with number 3.
But in all honesty since my last was a vacuum assisted VBAC there are days I still worry about repeat c/s again.
I have no regrets about my first c/s it was for all the right emergency reasons and as my Ob said if I'd lived 100 years earlier my child and I would both be dead. I fully believe he's right...c/s saved our lives.
This is just me however, it's always your choice.
baby #3 arrived in September 2014...cannot get ticker to work no matter what I try!
