I will say the decision for a repeat was 100% my call, my doc was ready to try for vbac.
Kat - This would be my 3rd if I choose c section as well. I think that's why my OB was so fast to say no. Just would be nice to have him hear me out and give me a reason why. I go back on the 10th so maybe I'll ask him again. I was the same way. The first was terrible but second was a breeze.
Country - don't let me discourage you, it's definitely been done before. I think it's called a V2BAC. But, I think it's not as common as a regular VBAC. Since my last one was so good, I just haven't considered it. My doc doesn't recommend more than 3 csections, which we are done after this baby so that's fine. But, if you think you want more kids then definitely seek out a V2BAC!! And I know people that have had 4 csections so it can be done too depending on your situation. I asked my doc if she was nervous about doing a third on me and she flat out said no, not at all!
Kat - No discouragement at all! I wanted opinions from others. And we are done after this one! Lol DH said if I get the urge to want another we will just buy another cow ��
CountryMommy-DH is from outside of Columbus too-East I believe. Another opinion is always good!
Kat-I had an ideal c-section experience both times since they were both planned-I'm sure that makes it much better than being in labor for hours, then going in for one! My biggest fear is that I would feel pain-only felt pressure & it was exciting b/c it meant I was about to see baby!!!
CountryMommy-"buy another cow" love it 🤣I think that's a good idea to give your OB another chance to at least explain why he doesn't recommend it for you & give pro's & con's!
Kat-my OB doesn't recommend more than 3 c-sections as well. I'm also not considering any other options-just straight to c-section. I fear that I would be in labor for hours & just end up with an emergency c-section anyway, which I def want to avoid!!
Lola - That is part of my fear about trying a VBAC! I don't want to end up in an emergency situation.
CountryMommy-I also don't want to discourage you, but definitely something to think about! Even though a c-section is major surgery, a planned one is very controlled and most go well without issues. I know there are always exceptions. I already know what to expect, it just feels like the easier, safer option for me at this point.
Lolla you and me always see similar dream :). Just going through the thread. Many new people joined. Loving this busy place.
