Hey hun.
I wish i hadn't written my other post cos i think it came across as rude & heartless esp as everyone deals with pain differently.
After my c-section i fell pregnant quite quickly. I really wanted a VBAC.
It wasn't the pain of the c-section that was bothering, it was being stuck in hospital for 3+ days that was bothing me lol.
I asked & was basically told no because they wanted me to have the baby at 34wks. At 34wks they deemed that the safest & earliest time they could my baby. I was told if i went into labour before my c-section date i could have a 'trial of labour'. However i knew i wouldn't go into labour & they don't like to induce labour if you already have had a c-section.
If you do got for a VBAC i believe they need to monitor you carefully incase of a uterine rupture but i have heard of plenty of women who've had successful vbacs.
I would consider all the options & speak to your consultant.
I'm not pregnant yet (praying for a 2009 baby).
I found out from my lovely gyne doctor that my consultant has moved to australia..... how rude :laugh:
He's abandoned me :laugh:
To be fair to him, he is going loads of research over there but i can't believe he just left before i'd finished having all my babies :smug:
Are you pregnant now or hoping to get pregnant?
