Questions & Answers

Thank you ladies...also, I know it depends on which type of uterine incision I had...which apparently can differ from my abdominal incision...can this be found out by ultrasound?

I'm attempting a vbac after an emergency csection in my last pregnancy. Any decent responsible doctor should discuss with you any options that you feel comfortable with because after all it is your body and your baby. You might decide after you've got all the information you need that a vbac is not right for you but you should have that option. All I can tell you is what my consultant told me, 1 in 200 woman who attempt a vbac might have a rupture. You'll be monitored closely at all times and it's possible to have a rupture even before you go into labour. Signs to look out for for are bleeding and abdominal pain. If there are any problems you'll be given an immediate csection. I've already met my anesthetist incase this all needs to happen. You are at an increased risk if your bmi is over 30 and it might not be possible for you to be induced. Good luck and i hope you have a healthy delivery and baby.
