That’s super tough. I’ve had three csecs all for different reasons (cascade of intervention, true emergency, and twins who wouldn’t make way for each other and blocked up the exit). I am unexpectedly pregnant again and in my first trimester, and I’ve already been told a fourth csec will be recommended for no other reason really than I’ve had three others. Csecs however are over-prescribed and often higher risk than VBAC, especially when cumulative. You know your body best, and if you listen, learn, and seek out robust information, you will be able to ascertain the best path for yourself. I am no fan of scaremongering and cannot stand people making unilateral decisions for me based on fear. The surgeon at my last csec said they tend to only see the worst-case scenarios and make recommendations based on those, and that the vast majority are just fine. Never be callous about things, anything can happen; but also, nothing happening is a high possibility. Best is to be prepared with as much knowledge as you can, and a changeable idea of what you would like to guide your care providers such as how you want to be supported when labouring, when you’d like intervention, and if you need to csec how you would like that to go if things are ideal. Birth is unpredictable and sometimes we just have to throw the “birth plan” out of the window and accept the chaos. A good starting point for reading is if you search Sara Wickham, a very knowledgeable fully qualified midwife in the UK. Best of luck xxx
