Has anyone else had to have a C-section due to cervical lip/swollen cervix?

I ended up having an emergency C-section because a portion of my cervix was swollen (also called a cervical lip). My baby was sunny side up and putting pressure so the swelling couldn't go down. Honestly it was a really tough labour all the way to 10cm before having to go for the C-section. My question is, if you have had this kind of thing happen, do you think It's something that tends to repeat or is there a hope for a VBAC next time? In many ways my C-section has left me feeling robbed, I did all the work to get to that point and then didn't get to have the delivery I wanted. I would love to hold out some hope for a VBAC in the future.

I didn't have that specific issue, but I did get all the way through a 40 hour labor and 4 hours of pushing and ended with a C-section so I commiserate with the feeling of being robbed. I hope that you get whatever birth you're hoping for in the future

I laboured for 44 hours and got to 10cm,, i had 13 vaginal exams in just 10 hours my cervix was like a balloon by the end of it baby couldnt even try to get through then had major decels. I struggled to bond with baby for while tbh like obviously i loved him for the second he cried but it took a long time to feel like his mum i couldnt hold him until we got to the ward and then we was in and out of the hospital once we finally got home i didnt produce any milk at all so i couldnt BF however next baby will definitely be an elective section i am genuinely traumatised from VEs

I laboured for 136 hours before my emergency c section I only got to 2.5cm ...and when I got into the c section room the numbing didn't work ,it only worked on one portion of my body so I was put to sleep ,for my future pregnancys I will have to have a C section with general anesthesic as my body doesn't respond the way it should 💕

I had alot of checks I don't remember how many but I was very swollen,with the baby's head trying to come down my canal it was extremely painful
