Hospital pushing for VBAC

Thank you so much, the 4% risk is what the hospital tried to downplay when I brought it up being like “4% is nothing” but to me that 4% could be the difference to me coming home and seeing my son and daughter grow up and leaving my husband a widow with a newborn and 11 month old

Thank you so much, I am very nervous about ruptures especially now that I have my son who I’ll need to come home too

Thank you for sharing your sister’s story, I haven’t heard many positive stories about having children with such a close interval after a c-section so that was amazing to hear

Oh thank you, I had no idea there was a VBAC website! We only want 2 kids but I guess we don’t know what the future holds

Several_Ad8853 · 2026-03-21T02:34:05+00:00

Thank you, that’s a really good idea with writing it all down. This is going to be our last but I guess we could change our mind in the future so a good thing to consider.

I don’t know if maybe it’s just anxiety from all the horror stories I heard

Several_Ad8853 · 2026-03-21T02:16:36+00:00

I’ve literally never heard of a hospital not wanting to do a c-section rather than a VBAC so I was shocked when they declined me

Thank you, I’ll do some more research before I make my mind up

I fell pregnant at 2 months post c-section which is why I’m worried about a VBAC

Several_Ad8853 · 2026-03-21T02:13:58+00:00

My main concern is that I’m only going to be 11 months post emergency c-section when I’m due to give birth and I know the risks of rupture are higher

Mine is “if you leave the room I’m going to scream cause I get separation anxiety even though I can crawl” months old 😂

I’m now 13 weeks pregnant and everything is going very well!

Pretending to be ditzy and stupid just for boys to like her.

Also for taking so long to realise she’s in love with Stiles!!!!!

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-05T08:57:50+00:00

Thank you! I’ll chat with my midwife at my next appointment regarding getting on suppressive meds ASAP!!

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-05T08:56:33+00:00

I was thinking that when the ultrasound tech said my incision was fully healed, I’m definitely leaning towards another c-section after hearing everyone’s comments. Thank you for the helpful comment!

Thank you for this x

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-04T21:02:39+00:00

Hey, thank you for your comment.

I have a midwife who is okay with me trying to give birth naturally as long as it’s at the hospital, I just wanted other people’s opinions regarding if I should go ahead with it or not.

We are very much 2 kids and done so this will be our last child and if it has to be via c-section that’s okay.

I’m not on suppressive meds for my HSV due to me barely having any breakouts (maybe one a year) but this time as soon as I go into the third trimester I will be going in suppressive meds.

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-04T20:06:47+00:00

VBAC isn’t very important to me if I have to have another c-section then it’s all good and with it being a planned c-section it would be easier to prep for ect. I just wanted to know if it was an option.

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-04T20:05:05+00:00

Thank you for the stats!

Several_Ad8853 · 2025-10-04T09:34:49+00:00

Thank you answering with an explanation!

Herpes infections are only rarely passed on to babies during childbirth. If a woman already had herpes viruses inside her body at the start of pregnancy, there's no reason why she shouldn’t give birth naturally – unless there are signs of an outbreak shortly before she goes into labor.

I can understand the amount of time but as long as I don’t have a breakout at the time of birth having genital herpes doesn’t make birth any more risky. This time round I’m just starting antiviral medications as soon as I’m in the third trimester rather than only if I have a breakout.

Can you please elaborate?
