Can a woman who has had a C-section have a vaginal birth......?

Question

Can a woman have a vaginal birth after having a C-section (emergency c-section)7 years earlier?

Answer 1

YES it's call VBAC - Vaginal Birth After C-Section

Answer 2

I have a friend who undergo 2 C and the last one a normal birth or vaginal birth. Unless u have other problem in giving normal birth such us u have high blood pressure. The best is to consult with you Doctor for safety. If no complication, should be o right. UNLESS you prefer to have C, as some people 'think' vaginal birth might affect sexual life, which i hardly believe.Its your choice than!!

Answer 3

It depends but in most circumstances,yes. If you had an horizontal cut then most likely yes you can have a vbac (vaginal birth after c-sec). Other wise if you had a vertical cut , then absolutely not. I have had three children and my first was csection and my last two were vaginal.

Answer 4

I had an emergency C-section with my first child and went on to have two very normal vaginal deliveries.

Answer 5

It is possible but really your doctor would be the best source for that info. I think it depends on how cut up you were before of if your muscles will respond properly for a vaginal birth.

Answer 6

It is possible and even somewhat common. It depends on a number of factors, so it is definately an individual question for your particular reason for having a C-Section and how well you healed after. But the general answer is you betcha!! :)

Answer 7

Often it is difficult to find a DR willing to do VBAC's. Most of the time they want you to have another C-section if you have one already. Ask your Dr about it. If he/she wont do it and you want a VBAC, see a different Dr
