Might be pregnant - could I have a natural birth?

A lot will depend on the reason for your first section x

I had an emergency section and then 10.5 months later had another baby by planned section but I was given the option to go natural if I wanted xxx

I’ve just had my first midwife appointment and I’m only 9 weeks pregnant and 9months pp. They asked me what my preference would be, I said I would ideally like a VBAC and they were supportive, but it will be consultant based. My hospital do not like to induce after a previous c-section as that can increase the risk of uterine rupture. So it will be dependent on how the pregnancy goes, I had GD previously which they like to induce at 37 weeks so if I have it again in this pregnancy likelihood is that I will have to have another C-section (unless I spontaneously go into labour before 37 weeks).

Is there a reason you’re so strongly opposed to another C-section?🤍

As above it will depend on your reason for the first, if you fully dilated before your first section you’re usually a good candidate for a VBAC.

You have the option none the less, they cannot force you to have an elective but obviously could result in an emergency x
