VBAC2

Has anyone here had a natural birth after two C-sections, or know someone who has? I feel like there’s so much fear-mongering around it, and I wish I’d known more before. It would have helped me feel more confident in my choices at the time

Here's a link to one of the episodes from the VBAC link podcast. There's quite a few episodes for VBAC2C. You can search "VBAC Link Podcast VBAC2C" and other episodes will pop up.:)

🙋🏽‍♀️ Me! I’ve had two successful VBA2Cs. My first two deliveries were C-sections, and my third and fourth were vaginal births.

Having a truly supportive provider is key, someone who will give you a fair trial of labor. It also depends on your medical records. Your prior C-sections need to have been done with low transverse uterine incisions; if not, a VBAC usually isn’t an option.

I’ve seen many others be successful as well, and I’m an L&D nurse, too. Feel free to message me if you have questions. I’m happy to help however I can!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
