Pregnant after emergency c section

Following because I’m curious about this too, had an emergency c-section at 35 weeks from preeclampsia at 36yo, but I’m wondering if I can even have a vbac now if we decide to have another child.

I opted for a elective csection so I was incontrol of it this time as I was told my chances of another emcs would be higher

I had an emergency c with my first and was prepping to do a VBAC. My doctors were all very supportive. I had some other health things that indicated needing a repeat c, but nothing to do with my previous one. In your case, the only thing I can think of with a doctor being hesitant is how close together your pregnancies are. My doctors recommended not getting pregnant minimum 18months, but preferably 24months, after my c section to allow my body time to heal.

I was definitely nervous, I really wanted a VBAC but had preeclampsia again. I had another c-section because of it, we were able to get it scheduled though once the baby was technically full term. Without it being an emergency situation it went smoother and I healed quicker. Mentally it was stressful because it’s a surgery, and it wasn’t what I wanted to do (the first c-section freaked me out)

As far as the pregnancy leading up to the birth, I treated it the same. I tried to eat healthy and exercise. And be excited. Talk with your doctor about the birth plan. Mine was ok with letting me do a VBAC until it literally was no longer an option.
