can you have a normal birth after having 2 ceacerans?

Answer 1

U have not mentioned indication for ur Cesarean operation. in some cases it is possible but still very much risky. So now a days in our medical science it it made mandatory to do Cesarean section in all women who had history of Cesarean in past.
In Cesarean section uterus is cut opened by incision which makes it weak, such uterus can not bear pressure due to uterine contractions in subsequent pregnancies. it may get burst open, which is fatal. u had history of two cesareans so do not try to risk ur self by going for normal dilivery now
im doctor.

Answer 2

yes it's possible.

Advantages to VBAC
Reduction in Maternal complications (infection, lower blood loss, bowel injury, etc.)
Reduction in Iatrogenic Prematurity
Reduction in the cases of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension
Labor prepares the baby for extrauterine life
Prevention of surgery related fetal injuries (lacerations, broken bones)
VBAC results in fewer fetal deaths than elective repeat cesareans
Quicker recovery for Mother


There used to be an old adage, "Once a cesarean always a cesarean." Nowadays practitioners, women, and researchers are finding that this is not always true. Current research shows us that the reasoning behind the adage, that a uterus that had a previous incision was too weak to withstand labor — is not a fact. In fact, over 86% of women who have had a previous cesarean can have a subsequent vaginal birth.


Things to consider

uterine rupture is a common fear among women who have had a previous cesarean. Most of this fear dates back to when the incisions of the original cesarean were of the classical variety (vertical incisions). Nowadays, most incisions are the low transverse type. There are two types of uterine rupture: complete and incomplete. Complete uterine rupture is very unlikely today, for a variety of reasons. One is that when we use Pitocin, if needed, during a labor, we regulate the amount that goes in. In other times it was given IV to a woman and allowed to flow freely. These have also decreased due to some obstetrical practices being abandoned, like high forceps, internal version, etc. And the final reason is because of the rarity of the classical incision. A complete rupture occurs in far less than 1% of women attempting VBAC.

Incomplete rupture (dehiscence) occurs about 1-2% of the time. However, these women are usually asymptomatic, and neither mother nor infant require any assistance.



If you are a candidate for a vaginal birth.........

the only criteria you must meet in most circumstances is that you are willing to have a vaginal birth, you have a lower segment incision on the uterus (You have to ask the physician who did the surgery because the outside incision is not always the same as the internal incision.), and you have a non- repeating factor for the previous cesarean surgery.

Answer 3

It's called vbac. Vaginal birth after caesarean. Discuss it with your ob/gyn. Some will consider it others won't because of the risks that are involved. Good luck.

Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is not uncommon today. The medical practice until the late 1970s was "once a caesarean, always a caesarean" but a consumer-driven movement supporting VBAC changed the medical practice. Rates of VBAC in the 80s and early 90s soared, but more recently the rates of VBAC have dramatically dropped due to medico-legal restrictions.

Twenty years of medical research on VBAC, support a woman's choice to have a vaginal birth after caesarean. Because the consequences of caesareans include a higher chance of re-hospitalization after birth, infertility, and uterine rupture in the next birth, preventing the first caesarean remains the priority. For women with one or more previous caesareans, as an alternative to major abdominal surgery, VBAC remains a safer option.

Answer 4

Depends on the reason for the c sections. If it was due to preeclepsia (sp?) the usually a VBAC can be performed. If due to the hips being too small, then usually not. It's very important to discuss these options with your doctor. The old saying "once a c section always a c section" isn't totally true anymore.

Discuss these options as soon as possible with your doctor.

Answer 5

i was wondering the same thing i have had two myself and is pregnant with my third right now. I heard that you could depending on why you had the first one. If it was a problem like the baby was in a breach postion then they will allow you to try to have a natural birth. However if there was a problem such as your labor was prolonged and your cervixs did not do as it was supposed to then they will ask that you have another c-section. Good luck.

Answer 6

Most probably no. Coz I had 2 kids both cesarean section and my Gynecologist told me it is very unlikely that I could have a normal delivery as there are chances of the uterus getting ruptured. Hope I have helped. Take care

Answer 7

By "normal" do you mean vaginal?
It is possible but the risks are higher. See your doctor to discuss your personal situation and review of you medical history.

Answer 8

You can. It depends on You, Your Body & Your Doctor. Talk to him. Good Luck! But just so you know, I had 4 c-sections in 5 years and they got better & better, so don't fret if you have to have another!

Answer 9

they say no
