VBAC

Has anyone had a successful VBAC after getting pregnant in under a year? I found out I was pregnant 7 months pp by the time I’m ready to give birth il be around a year and 2-3 months postpartum. Apparently they don’t really want to induce if you’ve previously had a c section. Which puts me in a spot of if labour doesn’t progress would I just have to have one instead of being induced?
I’ve also been told by my partners mum that “they won’t give her an option it will be 36 weeks and she will be cut open” as if 😂, I’m sure they wouldn’t do that, it would have to be an elective and I’m positive it’s 37 weeks onwards.

Yes! I have had five VBAC’s and they were all under the recommended wait time. I was also induced with four out of my five VBAC’s, so you can absolutely be safely induced.

My end it was at 39 weeks, but I have a friend who was at 37 weeks due to underlying issues. They recommend waiting 18 months . If you have another sooner than that, there is a greater chance of needing another C-section.

I was too scared. The dr said technically I can but I’d have to be induced (medical issues) and the risk of uterine rupture was too high for me to agree to it. If I was able to go into labor naturally then I would’ve tried

2nd section

My first I had a planned section it was great. My 2nd planned section is next week.

Question - did anyone go earlier 2nd time round? Was it a scary experience?

I’m worried go early. I’ve been told I would still get my section but treated as emergency section but I’m just really worried and anxious about that happening.

7 week scan

Hi,
Has anybody had a 7 week scan for reassurance and did you hear a heart beat / would you recommend it? I don’t feel like I can wait another 3 weeks until my first midwife appointment!

Gunky eye - blocked tear duct

Hi all - my baby is now 4wks 5days old and since she was born gets a gunky right eye, they told me it was due to a blocked tear duct and will go eventually. We clean it with boiled water/ cotton wool but wondered if anyone else’s baby gets this and what may have helped?

Early Scan?

I’m trying to decide on whether or not to book an early scan, it’s my first pregnancy and will be 5wks tomorrow. I’ve had some mild cramping and coloured discharge, according to NHS it’s all normal. I have quite severe anxiety as it is, and this is making me spiral slightly. I’m trying to reassure myself but I don’t know if booking an early scan will help?

How soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start/baby born?

I’m starting to get lots of symptoms/indications that labour is getting closer. But how soon after losing your mucus plug did labour start and then when was your baby born?

I lost my plug yesterday and feeling crampy and more emotional today…
