Thread: VBA2C

    The risks as far as what can happen are about the same... the chances of them happening go up. With each C-section more scar tissue develops which is a real risk if you need an emergency C-section. If I were going to attempt a VBA2C I would only do it with an OB that had experience with uterine rupture and in a hospital that was fully equipped to handle a uterine rupture and a NICU that is equipped to handle a baby delivered in such conditions. I too think that everyone needs to do what is best for them and their baby. I can't imagine midwives being able to handle this type of situation with swiftness and confidence. The risks are real and that is why VBAC is not something that every OB wants to or should take on. Choose an OB who is confident in what you are doing and what they can do.

    In my community, midwives have hospital privileges (I wouldn't be comfortable with a home birth). It's set up that way so an ob can step in if need be. There's always at least one ob on call (or there) so I know that either way the risks could be managed. And from what I've found so far, the risk of rupture is about 2%, higher if the scar tissue is "fresh ".
    I will definately continue to research and connect with an ob that is at least open to the possibility, if I can find one I'm hoping my ob from my first pregnancy (who delivered my second child, but not my first) will be willing. His office is in the same building as my work. Would be very convenient!

    There should be a local ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) chapter near you. Or check out their web-page
    www.ican-online.org. There's a FB page too, but I can't remember the exact name. Searching for ICAN should bring it up.

    Thanks The closest one to me is about an hour and a half away. If I do manage a pregnancy, I may contact them just to see what my options are.

    I had a VBAC2 in the UK!

    I saw and got rid off of 3 male consultants before finding a female consultant who would support me. The male consultants all told me I was going to die and kill my baby but I had done my research and knew my facts!

    I had guidelines though so as I had to go into hospital when anything started happening. I never had a problem with this and it worked out fine as they made sure I had mobile monitors available so that I could move around etc.

    They also assigned me to a specialist MALE midwife at the hospital (he looked liked Hagrid from Harry Potter!) who was experienced with difficult deliveries in 3rd world countries where they didnt have equipment and he seemed to know lots of 'tricks'.

    The birth was fine and I am glad I did it. I would do it again even though I tore badly and had to have 2 blood tranfusions.
