Isn't the goal to have a healthy baby?
If yes, then who cares how you delivered it?
Have another planned c-section.
Your 1st two kids don't need you take any of the risks.

I had 2 c-sections. With the first, I wasn't put to sleep, but I felt like I was. I was so tired and don't remember a whole lot. My second was much better, I was not tired and it was just a better experience. I knew I didn't want to have a vbac and my Ob's policy didn't allow it anyway. So, it probably depends on your Ob's and the hospital's policy. I know some will not do a vbac at all due to the increased risk of the uterus rupturing. I would rather play it safe and have another c-section, but talk to your doctor about it.

You need to select a Dr. that does VBAC's not all Dr.'s do them. (Malpractice) It also depends on the cut that you had and how long it was since your last c-section. Your uterus could rupture and you could bleed to death. That is why most Dr.'s wont do it. If you had a bikini cut you could possibly have a VBAC. I am for it. I had two C-Sections. I wanted a vaginal for the 2nd birth however the Dr.'s I had were against it. Really interview your Dr. I should have. It is your body. You want to get your records from your previous pregnancies so that the Dr. can look at them.

My sister had a c-section with her first child. With her second she did a VBAC. When she became pregnant with her third she thought she'd have a vaginal birth again, but the doctor told her they changed the guidelines and she couldn't have a vaginal birth this time unless she had a doctor monitoring her throughout the entire labor to insure there wouldn't be uterine rupture. Maybe the guidelines are different where you live. I think it would be fine (as it was for her) it is just a little risky due to the possibility for complications. I would discuss the pro's and con's with your doctor.

I'm a surgical tech in the OR but I am neither for or against them. The thing you have to realize now is that more and more hospitals are no longer allowing them because of liability risks. Where I live none of the hospitals are allowing them as of April 1st.

i think its worth trying....you would be in a hospital setting, the chances of a rupture are very very slim....vaginal delivery is far easier and less risky than even a planned c-section. find a labor doula in your area who may be able to help you....

If you go for a V-bac, just don't get induced. Induction can cause rupture even in people who have not had a C-sec.
