Baby #3 ?????

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?

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

Pregnancy 12 months post C-section

Does anyone have any experience getting pregnant 12 months after a c-section? My deliveries will be 20 months apart, but I am still nervous.

Different scar placements

Looking at photos people have shared of their c-section scars, I can see lots of you have low scars that are just under the public hair line. Mine is way higher than that.

Does anyone know why they can be at different levels and if it means anything for future pregnancies and c-sections?

Due date change at anatomy scan??

Has had their due date updated when they went for their anatomy scan? I had a level 2 anatomy scan this morning and they moved my due date up a whole week!! He's looking perfect so I am not worried, just never heard of someone having their due date updated mid pregnancy!

If your partner is useless, was he like this pre baby, or only since the baby arrived?

I always see women posting about how useless their men are, wether that’s around the house with tidyness, doing things to make them feel loved and supported, or how they are with the kids, and I always think… was they like this pre baby? Or did they suddenly become useless after the child arrived?

After growth scans telling me she was predicted to be 97th centile I opted for induction and she was born 38+4, they were 100% right 8lb 7oz of this little chunk on 97th centile!
