Birth after C section

My boys are 14 months apart and I had a successful vbac with my second. I expressed my preference to my midwives at the time and I told them if I’d go past 41w I’d book an elective c section rather than an induction because the chances that’s gonna end up in a c section were higher. I went into labour at 40+3 . Feel free to ask me anything 💕

As long as you give your body time to heal, a VBAC is a possibility if you want one.

Having repeated sections isn’t bad either, just depends what type of births you want. Just remember elective sections and emergencies are very different to each other. I see lots of peanut mums say subsequent sections were easier recoveries than their first ones x

Due to size they’d likely schedule a c section for around / after your due date just in case so it doesn’t become an emergency c section. I never wanted a vbac so I never attempted but I’ve had 3 c-sections. Personally for me, each c-sections recovery was easier and easier

I have had five VBAC’s and was induced with three of them because I went past my due date and did not want to have any repeat c-sections. My inductions went smoothly each time.

Thank you everyone for your helpful advice! It’s definitely made me feel calmer about birth and more positive about potentially having baby no 2! X x

I’ve been thinking of doing the same.

My 1st section was emergency and healed better than the 2nd but everyone's different

I'm disabled in a wheelchair BTW so harder to heal as I have to use the muscles to transfer constantly. I tore stitches. 2nd probably didn't go as great by my own fault but not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️ they said they were shocked with my mobility, I was trying to move around out of bed within 2hrs
