re: Repeat C-section anyone?

Oh no that's horrible! I hope they find something that you can use safely. I would have been freaking out.

You think you will go into labor before the 19th? Will you just go in and get ready for the c-section then? I have read, but may not be true, that its better to not labor- because the increased risk of infection. Of course its on my list of questions for my OB!

Glad Im not alone. I can't wait to hear how everything goes since I will be just a month behind you!

I have been in labor off and on since 32 weeks, on Terbutaline and bedrest since then. So, I got to stop all of that on Sunday and once the contractions start mounding up, they will do the c-section. This happened last time too. I was due 9/18 and had her on 8/24. They just don't let you labor real long is all.

Congrats! I will be lucky to make it out of the end of this week if the past repeats itself.

oh ok, thanks!

Good luck to both of you!

I say screw them! They are not the ones that have to go thru the recovery! Your risks are MUCH lower and less with a VBAC. If they don't like it to darn bad. I am doing a VBAC - trust me I have gotten flack from people. I just look at them and ask "Are you my dr? Last time I checked you weren't" I would never do anything that would endanger me or my child, so why would I even consider a VBAC if its not safe?? You have to do whats right for you - and not what they want you to do hun. They think they have the facts - just blow them off. I would go for the VBAC - you and I both know recoverying from a c-section SUCKS! Good luck!

Thanks! I do know recovering from a csection sucks! I just don't understand why people think that a csection is the low risk easy way out. Its not! Its has lots of risks. They both do. I just wish people would be more informed before having an opinion... but that will never happen.

Good luck with your vbac!!!

Thanks!
Yes I did a LOT of research and I even printed off everything I thought was creditable to my dr and showed her. Had a list of questions and such. I was very in depth about it. I hope you choose to do a VBAC. Good luck on your decision dear.

I have my list of questions right here I did them last night. Last week I went to the hospital and took a class. I have done a ton of reading. I was way mislead by people who didn't know anything about the risks csections have. I have an appt on Friday and plan to talk to him about it. Hopefully I can make a decision soon, thanks!

The one thing that really swayed me was my dr said this " With a VBAC you only have a .08% chance of a uterine rupture but with any other kind of medical procedure a dr. can NEVER give you anything than a 5% chance of something going wrong." If that helps any. Good luck. Again no prolem!

well the midwifes here are all for the vbac but the doctors not so much. I think you should give it a try I was told the chances of something going wrong is slim in a vbac, compared to lightning striking you is your chances of something bad happening in a vbac but I am in the same boat hoping for a successful vbac.
