Has anyone had a successful vbac?

I’m having a baby in September and very scared of giving birth. I had my first in 2022 by emergency c section. I have planned a vaginal birth with this baby. But recently I been feeling anxious and scared and everyone I know says most vbac are risky and unsuccessful. I really want to avoid a c section because last time I had a very traumatic recovery. My midwife told me not to worry about it since everything looks good and I should trust my body.

C Section

Ladies… how THE FUCK r we getting through our c sections?! The only thing keeping me going r the Percocets. I did not want a c section at all and this is day 1 of getting to walk around finally and I just can’t even. I literally don’t want to move at all. But my baby boy is just the cutest thing ever omg. I jus wish I did vaginal because fuck this shit

Pregnancy after loss

Labor

Hi mamas currently I’m 35+2 my waters have broken naturally themselves never had this before last baby was induced and waters were broken for me, how long after your waters have broken have you gone into labor? Currently in hospital on a 24 hour basis on watch to see what happens with baby but just wondering If I should expect to have baby or not

Ways to induce labour

I’m currently 35 weeks so still have a bit of time but I previously had an emergency C-section the consultant told me I can have a Vbac but it’s not very likely. I want to avoid another C-section as much as I possibly can but if I don’t go into labour on my own their not going to try to induce me they r just going to give me another C-section.

Does anyone have any ways to help me try and go into a natural labour

Thanks in advance

Numb lower belly?

Induction or C Section

Hi!
Any mums out there that have been through either an induction or c section fancy sharing there experience and reasoning behind why they chose one or the other?
I’m currently 31 weeks and have been advised that I will likely need to deliver between 38 and 39 due to a couple of complications. It’s a little way off yet but I really can’t decide what route I’d rather go down.

I know a lot of inductions end in a C Section anyway, so I was leaning towards a C Section but the recovery time with being a FTM scare me a little bit, I also know I will likely want more children in the future and not sure how this would impact anything?
I also want to experience a vaginal birth.

Has anyone got any positive induction or C section stories they would be happy to share? Thank you 🥰
