Positive VBAC stories here for the good vibes.

Hi ladies, First time mom, I had emergency c section back in April and it was traumatic as first time mom. But all I can say is thank god I’m still here. The attending OB measured my baby wrong and said he was 10lb and me being clueless blindly went for c section. If I had known all to come after and error I would’ve just had natural birth. But all praises to the most high. Well anyways I had postpartum preeclampsia with severe features such as tachycardia, heart rate sitting at 176bm. The day I was suppose to get discharge is when all this unfolded. Anyways I’m still here thank god. I’ve always wanted 4 babies but idk about it now lol. It’s scary to go through that again. But I definitely want more when I’m ready and hoping for vbac. I know there’s risk with vbac but there’s also risk with repeated C-section. So I want to hear successful vbac stories and maybe someone with similar experience so we can trauma bond? lol

I had 2 c-sections about a year and a half apart. I was told that if I went into labor with my 2nd that they wouldn't stop me, but they scheduled the c-section. My aunt in Virginia was surprised that they offered a vbac. It may differ state to state, or it could be at the OB's discretion. I'd find an OB that you trust and talk it over with them.

@Sierra yeah it does depend on the hospitals. Most hospital let you tolac if you only had 1 C-section but the more than 2 definitely not. What was your second c section elected if so what made you go through it again?

@Amina I was a week overdue and induced with my first. I was 'in labor' for 3 days, dilated to a 5, backed down to a 3, then they decided to do a c-section. So my 2nd one was planned, and honestly, I'd prefer the c-section over natural, natural birth scares me.

Look up The VBAC Link podcast. It’s mostly vbac stories and info from moms who have been there. Good luck!

I don’t know much about vbav as I had twins via C-section as a FTM in March. If i ask myself your same question, I think your faith answers it. If He puts it on your heart to carry another soul to this earth then you’ll know and you’ll be in the greatest hands
