I had a c-section with my son because I didn't dilate (sp?) after 10 hours.
Has anyone ever been through this and given birth naturally after?

I have heard that its safer to just go ahead and have another C section. I had 1 C section and they told me it would be best that I get another with my second. It was fine by me....I personally dont think I would be able to push a baby out. YIKES! Id rather deal with the recovery after.

I had my first c-section because my babys heartrate was dropping with the strength of my contractions. I tried to have a v-bac and I made it all the way to 10 centimeters and got to push once...then the babys face was up. Pushing was the most relief I had in about 13 hours. I was rushed in for another c-section. I was disappointed at first but I realized that I did all that I could do. My doctor said that as long as my first c-section had no complications then it would be safe to try for a vaginal delivery the second time. I dont think that I will even try for a v-bac the next time!

I had a vbac after with my second child. The doctor was prepared for anything and had the or on stand by in case the need arose. As long as the doc is informed they are usually safe and easier to recover from than repeat c-sections. Within two days of my second and third child I was up and moving and feeling good but with the first it took two weeks before I could even really hold her without pain.

I too like ( JN whos comment I read below ) had 2 c secs in the 80's they cut you long wise. I was not given the option of trying a VB? They thought at that time the incision would burst? Even though it had been 3 yrs between births? I hope you get to try it! I felt cheated! GOOD LUCK...

Don't even read the other posters or doctors or nurses or any others in healthcare field as well above or below here and their answers because they are definetly wrong for sure. The reason why is because medical birth hasn't been around since the beginning of time and has been here for since medival, spl times as I think. Personally, I'm not for this kind of birth, but when it is truly a medical necessary and not made up to medical necessary and scaring you and your family, friends, and etc. I'm not even milant as well as holadoc referred me to, but just wanted to you to aware of traditional birth as well. I know I haven't been pregnant or give birth yet, but that will happen in the future. Since ever subscribing to Mothering Magazines and like how I see things now from the past. Also, I volunteer in Maternity Department at the local hospital by me, so I see, and etc there as well. I recommed you don't show up for your the rest of doctor's appointments or don't consult the doctor or its office or the hospital either pre regisation or admission test or the section, and so on. Definetly don't listen to your dh or any of your family or friends or doctor or others . Definetly get a midwife that's isn't mainstream or stuff like that. Also, please try to breastfeed afterwards because it's it much more better then formula. Breastfeeding as around since the beginning of time and formula was introducted last half century so breastfeeding is way better then formula again. Also, do attactment parenting more then mainstream parenting because again it has been around since beginning of time and not like mainstream parenting when it has been around for at least a century now. Think thats it and good luck with it.

I had a c-section with my first son. With my second son, I screamed for hours for them to give me another one. Some mean nurse didn't want to hear none of it, and screamed back at me to push it out. So with my 2nd and 3rd sons, I had vaginally. My fourth son, they said was too big, and I might rupture, so they performed a c-section. But if I'd have had a choice, I would have pushed that one out also. Operations suck.

I had a ceserean with my first daughter because she was breech. I'm on my 2nd and the dr that I have says he will not do a VBAC because of the risks of uterine rupture. So I guess it depends on the doc you have!

My sister had 2 cesaerian births and then a 3rd was v-bac. she was told her uterus could tear if she went into labour and was terrified as it happened but the baby came out in under 4 hours and baby and mom were totally healthy with no complications.
