I had a c-section with my first child now im pregnant again, will i automatically be scheduled for another?

Question

Because i had a c-section with my first pregnancy am i required to have a c-section everytime now?

Answer 1

No. There is something called a VBAC. Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. If you are interested in it, I know that there are support groups out there that will help you with the physical and emotional support and training that you need. Just type in VBAC into a search engine.

Congratulations and good luck !

Answer 2

No, I had a c-section with my first child, second, normal.. the reason for the c-section was because my baby was breech, so there was no medical condition which was the cause, so unless you have a medical condition which prevents you from having natural, then the doctor's will opt to go vaginal and if any complications then c-section, so try vaginal... do not fall that you need another c-section if you could prevent it... good luck.. the girls that said that they HAVE to have a c-section because they had one already, are not well informed by their doctor...

Answer 3

Only your doctor knows BECAUSE every woman is different and depends on your previous pregnancy so ask a PROFESSIONAL

Like me...i had a c-section to deliver my twins (6 weeks early) there were some complications and other incisions were made and now i have to have a c-section everytime 3 weeks before my due date to avoid blowing out the stitches inside.

Answer 4

Not necessarily. It will depend on the reason for the first. You can have a trail of normal birth whilst being closly monitered. If you had a big baby the first time then it is more likely you will eventually need a 2nd c/section. If the baby was in the wrong position like breach or fetal distress then it is less likely to need a c/s

Answer 5

I was told that I wouldn't always have to have a c-section, my first n only child was an emergency c-section and I was told that most people just go for the c-section everytime b/c they know what to expect but it's not impossible to have a nartural child birth after.

Answer 6

I had a c-section with my 1st son.. It was an emergency c-section as well.. I had my second son 20months later with no c-section. It all depends on the person and on you. The most important question would be how you feel about the situation. Are you comfortable with having a vaginal birth.. Although there is only a 1% chance of having your uterus rupture. It also could depend on your 1st incision.. mine was bikini cut and healed well. Hope this helps a little..

Answer 7

NO, it depends on the circumstances. if your health was the issue with the first delivery then you may have to. If you have health problems, and you can not safely go through labor, they will do a c-section. If it was because the baby was having problems, and you were not -they may have done the c-section to deliver the baby quickly. If it was due to the baby being breech,
or feet first-etc. Then unless this one is breech -etc. there is no reason for you to have to have a c-section. Good luck, bust wishes for you and the baby.

Answer 8

You shouldn't have to. You need to talk to your OB/GYN and discuss having a VBAC(vaginal birth after cesarean). I had a c-section with my first child also, but in my case I am not able to have this child naturally due to the incision and diabetes. Please sit down with your doctor and discuss with him/her what is the best route for the both of you to go. But do remember the more c-sections you do have the greater risks there are each time!! But GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9

That would depend on the reasons for the first c-section. My husband and I have four children and they were all born by c-section. My first two children I had preeclampsia with (worse with my oldest though)and my doctor also said my pelvis is too narrow to give birth vaginally so I would have had to have c-sections anyway.

Answer 10

That depends on the doctor. usually, you would be labelled, CA. which means C-section always. More and more doctors are allowing VBAC which is vaginal birth after C section. Please,if you want a vaginal birth, let your doctor know early on in the pregnancy. I have had 6 --- all natural, vaginal birth. no C-sections. So,the choice is up to you,after all,it's your body,it's your choice.
