VBAC after cesarean

VBAC after cesarean

Posted By Kristen on March 16, 1999 at 14:52:35:







I am 29 years old and 26 weeks pregnant with my second child.
This pregnancy has been uneventful so far.  
However, with my first child, I had an emergency
c-section (due to preeclampsia) in December of 1997.  The baby
was born about three weeks early, had been diagnosed with IUGR,
and was a frank breech.  I was also put on bedrest at 28 weeks
due to low amniotic fluid, which resumed a normal level almost
immediately.  
I am wondering how likely each of these elements is likely to
repeat with this second baby (i.e. preeclampsia, breech position,
IUGR, low fluid), and whether or not such a likelihood will reduce my
chances for VBAC, which I'd like to try.
Thanks for your help!
