I had a c section with my first and a successful VBAC with my second.
Has anyone experience birth of a third after these two births ?
Just looking for anyone’s experience or advice is there more or less risk than the second ?

You were able to have a natural delivery after having a c section with your first? How was that? I would like to do the same for my second and had to have a c section with my first. I’m kind of scared to try it again and heard sometimes it’s better to just schedule another c section. How did you go about it and how was it for you?

Here with the same questions Miranda has ^ 🥹 my son is 2.5 now, so I’m wondering the same 🫶🏼
I had an emergency c section with my first and had to really advocate for myself in order to not be pushed into another c section. It was scary with the risk of scar rupture but they monitor you so closely and baby too to make sure they catch anything early if it happens. For me it was positive because I got to hear my baby cry and I got to hold him first which I didn’t get with my first because I was put under. There’s definitely pros and cons to both and it’s completely individual but labour was rough but a lot easier than the first time like my body knew what to expect it was a far more positive experience for me and just a personal choice of what I wanted. It can be better to just schedule another but if it’s what you want a VBAC you fight for it because you can do it and if you can’t that’s okay c section can be safer because it’s all controlled especially after unexpected c section but recovery was so much easier after my VBAC painful in different ways but I was up and going qk
