having a viginal birth?

Question

after having 2 c sections is it possible to have a viginal birth

Answer 1

Has anyone's doctor not told them to take Evening Primrose Oil Capsules to strengthen their incision scar so that their uterus would be strong enough to handle a vaginal birth? hmmm......

The chances are NOT greater for rupture. Your chances of having a successful VBAC are actually very good. It is a misconception that VBACs are not safe. There is a small percentage of VBACs that rupture. According to my research (and I have done the research), two main things cause this rupture:
1) Some such situations happened because the medical staff were not monitoring the mother and baby close enough to realize when a problem occurred. One women heard the "thump" when the rupture apparently took place. She told the nurse, but the nurse just blew it off. The mother continued to question the nurse, but nothing was done. Situations like this do occur, but the more you are educated the more able you will be to assess the situation and get help.
2) Not preparing your body for the pressure of labor can cause a rupture. VBACS are safe if you educate yourself and prepare ahead for success. There are herbs that you can take to help increase your success. I took Evening Primrose Oil capsules starting at 26 weeks. This strengthens and "seals" the internal incision (like glue) and helps it to stand up to the pressure of the baby growing and the contractions. I think this is a necessary step to the success of anyone's VBAC. Your abdomen has got to be ready for the pressure. Red Raspberry (in tea form is good) strengthens and tones the uterus. It is good for overall women's health. My midwife suggests starting this after the 12th week. One cup daily during the first trimester, two cups during the second, and three cups daily during the third trimester. (By the way, Alfalfa tablets if your iron gets low. I have increased my iron and my grandmother's iron with Alfalfa.) Doctors/Obstetricians do not know enough about herbs and natural rememedies to suggest them to their patients. But they are far safer than man-made products and THEY WORK! There even herbs that can induce labor IF it is time (Blue Cohosh).

My midwife helped a woman who had 4 previous Cesareans to deliver her 5th baby vaginally! Now, I wish I could say that my VBAC Home Birth Attempt was successful. But I made an error in judgment. Labor began naturally and I progressed to 10cm. During the beginning pushing stage, the midwife saw blood that she was uncomfortable with. Blood during labor is normal-but only if it is accompanied by mucus. This blood was not mucousy (it was a very small amount). So she insisted that I go to the hospital. In my eagerness to have my baby at home, I failed to check with local birthing hospitals and we ended up going to the only one in our area that does NOT do VBACS!!! So, needless to say, I ended up having another Cesarean because I was too exhausted to argue with the doctor AND she denied me having my midwife present while I was making the decision. There turned out to be no cause for alarm. We never found out where the blood was coming from. The decision about the hospital haunts me to this day because I knew that I could have finished labor myself. I just found out that I am expecting again and I will try again for a VBAC home birth. In the future, I will try Cayenne capsules to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding can be stopped, then labor can continue. I have read one story about this from another VBAC Home Birth family.

If you are laboring in a hospital, then you are in the best place for trying a VBAC. You have access to medical personnel and equipment that women attempting home births do not have.

You really need to read these books. They are PACKED with information. One of the most helpful things for me was reading about the UNNECESSARY reasons that C-sections are done and the UNNECESSARY invasive procedures that are performed in hospitals.

Answer 2

I dont think so. I just had a C Section almost 2 weeks ago with my baby, and the doctor asked me if i was going to want any more than 5 kids, and i told him no, and asked why, he said because it would be kind of harmful if i have more than 5 kids because i would have to have them all by C Section again. I guess the reason why i would have to keep only having C Sections, is because your uterous, and everything inside your stomach is really fragile, and they dont want anything bad happening if you have a natural birth. It could also be that they only allow this at my hospital where i live. but most places will say the same thing. i guess it also pretty much depends on where you live also, about what they are going to say about it. But i dont think its safe.

Answer 3

Absolutly, assuming your c-sections were not due to something like a small or damage pelvis. C-sections save lives, no doubt. But all too often c-sections are rushed into which contributes to our nations high c-section rate.
I suggest you contact ICAN (internation Cesarian Awarness network), my friend Maria heads the NYC chapter, this is how I know of it. She is very very pro VBAC and after watching her battle I know it can be done, in fact for her next birth she will be having a homebirth (having prooven that she can give birth vaginally)

Answer 4

i'm 33 weeks pregnant. confident, it may harm very badly and basically given which you're precipitated does not propose it will be in the present day!! I additionally, had a epidural with my first at 8 a million/2 cm so NO it won't be to previous via have discomfort medicine. And if I have been you, i does no longer permit a infant interior the birthing room. you do no longer choose the greater subject of controlling your thoughts and movements to accommodate a curious infant! anyhow, the two way you've got 2 desirable little ones quickly:-) next time if there's a next time I wager you will comprehend precisely what you p.c. in the previous you flow to the well-being facility:-)

Answer 5

it all depends on what the reasons for you needing your 2 c sections for?? If your pelvis is too small then you will need to have a c section, but ive known woman who have had c sections then then went on to give birth naturally. Speak to your doctor for further advice and explain you want to deliver this way

Answer 6

Yes there are major risks to keep in mind though such as uterine rupture from the past scars. It is done quite often now though, just make sure your OB will agree to it and that it is VERY clear what your wishes are and that you only want to do another Csect. if you are in danger or the baby is. A lot of ob's say sure then when you get in there start pushing you to csect. just so they can get out of there faster. So just be aware of your rights and good luck.

Answer 7

It is possible but not recommended and you will have a had time finding a doctor to do it.
You have a greater chance of rupturing your uterus if you try to go vaginal.
FYI- They recommend that you have no more than 3 C-Sections.

Answer 8

That would depend on the reasons for your past C-secs. But vaginal births have been given after previous C-secs, yes.

Answer 9

I looked it up in a pregnancy and birth book, yes you can but its a
50/50 thing

Answer 10
