Q: I had my 2nd baby by c-section. can i go natural now? do public hospitals allow this?

I had my second pregnancy by c section in 2010. there reason was that the baby was big weighed 4.1kg. i really want to go natural birth this time around. im due on the 27 May 2014. It is possible? especially in public hospitals? if so what can i do to actually have a natural birth. i know the babies health is what really matters but i want the c-section to be my last option.

Yep, just talk to your doc. I had a c section with my son, and now 12 months later I'll be going in for my second child's birth. My ob told me if I was going to have 4 kids, I should just do the c sections, not risk tearing my uterus and whatnot trying for a v bac, when I was going to do this numerous more times, but if I was only going to have these 2 I could try for a vbac. Hopefully you have an understanding OB near you who can help you with your birthing goals :)

You generally have to find a Dr that will be willing to do a vbac. Most will not bc, unlike regular vaginal deliveries, the Dr had to stay with you the entire time you labor. In the area that I live in, there's one Dr that is willing to do a vbac. If your Dr is able & willing, and thinks you're a candidate, I say go for it! Gl!

I think that decision is generally left up to your OB. I had both of my children C Section, and my OB advised me that another C Section would be the best option for this pregnancy.
