C-sections are not given because that is the type of birth that you prefer. They are given for reasons...child saftey, breach birth...etc. But to answer your question...if at first you have to have a section, your second, third...etc can be natural if everything is safe.

Well, I have had 3 c-sections. After the birth of my first child I was told that I could have a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), well 5 years later I became pregnant with my second daughter, and the same doctor told me, that I was not allowed to have a VBAC, unless it was at a hospital that had a 24 hour surgical team (in case the incision would open back up). I live in a small community and the nearest hospital with a 24 hour surgical team is an hour away, so I opted to have all of my children via c-section. I think that every doctor is different in what they practice, you will just have to find the one that best suits your needs.

usually your dr. won't perform a c-section unless it is a medical reason. They will have you try a vaginal birth, unless it is a medical reason, such as the baby isn't in position the right way, or your vagina is too small and you can't have a baby come out that way, or if you've been going through labor for too long of a time and they think that the baby or you may be under stress than they will do a c-section. It is best to ask your dr. and see what he does. But usually the only reason for a c-section is a medical reason only. I hope that this answers your question.

It all depends. In some of the c-sections the uterus is cut in such a way that a natural birth afterwards is possible. In some cases ( like an unexpected emergency) it may have been cut differently and is too weak to have a natural birth and a c-section may have to be repeated. It just depends on the individual circumstances.

My mom had a C-section and then had 4 kids naturally after that. I think it has something to do with the way you are cut. If you are cut horizontally than you can but if you are cut vertically then you can't have natural child birth. Or maybe it's the other way around but yeah you totally can.

Short answer.....probably.
As long as you had a horizontal incision on your uterus (which most do) you can have what is called a VBAC, vaginal birth after cesarean. There are other rare things that would cause your doc to prefer another c-section so talk with him/her to be sure when the time comes.

Yes you can. I've done it both ways and I prefer the C-Section birth. I didn't have to go through labor :)

It is possible to have a vaginal birth after having a cesarian. Its called a V-back.

generally C-section was used in special circumstances - now many more are having it due to personal reasons - personal opinion - between you and your doctor - afterall, you are the ones involved in this birth ..... most times it should be used due to medical complications etc
would just talk with your personal doctor in advance

yes it is possible to have a v-bac as the doctors call a vaginal birth after c-section
