Clueless?

I don’t have personal experience of the appointment, but from friends who’ve had their second baby they said it was an appointment to talk through risks and benefits of vbac vs elective c section. None of them said they felt pressured at all, so I’d really hope you’ll feel the same and will get the chance to talk though your options and make choices that work for you

I am in the same boat, I have a call on the 1st July with an obstetrician i presume to discuss my birthing options. My first was an emergency c-section due to PROM, babies heart rate dropping and I wasnt dilated enough. I did briefly discuss with my midwife as I would really like to try a vaginal birth, she mentioned it is possible but apparently only 50% of VBACs are successful so now I'm all in my head about it(not 100% sure how accurate that is). I've spoken to a few people who've told me that either themself or someone they know have had successful VBACs but again I know each case is different. I would say go into the appointment and listen to what they have to say, but absolutely advocate for yourself and what you want, express your concerns, talk about previous experience, etc. At the end of the day they are there to advise but its your body, your pregnancy, and eventually will be your labour/birth so you should absolutely get a say in it xx

Hey! I had an emergency C-section almost 3 years ago with my first, they said to me once you have an un-planned C-section, that you come under the high risk bracket. They said it is classed as that due to the scar, but everyone is different and can opt for a natural birth but I think they just put it in place just in case with a C-section. I have decided to go elected C-section myself, due to my experience last time. I was also sedated during the birth of my first so that traumatised me. Fingers crossed things go smoother this time now that it will be consultant lead 🤞🏼
Definitely go with what you would like. I think they just give you the options, in case and make it safer for you and baby ❤️
