C-Section

Hi,  I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and just have a question. My first child was born via c-section. My doctor said I could try naturally for this one. At first I wanted to try naturally but now I'm not sure. Any other mom's been through this? What did you do?

Yeah I suggest trying the vbac. I had a vbac with my 2nd baby and everything went fine. (My labor was only 7hrs.)
I  decided on a c section with my 3rd baby,because I didnt like the after pain of the vaginal birth..
Well I wish I would've done another vaginal birth because this time around the pain was worse an the scar is bigger and it still hurts and my baby is 6mos.

Thanks guys. My doctor was the one that said the more you get opened up the worse it can get. Because of scar tissue. Not. Sure if this is gonna be my last one or not. My son was born via c-section cause of fetal distress. Maybe I'll just see how it goes and try to vbac. Thanks for all your comments!

Look I would suggest trying naturally if you plan on having more kids after this one . Being cut open causes scars on your uterus and scar tissue in that general area and I've read ( a while ago) that the more c sections the more your uterus has a chance of tearing or rupturing or somthing like that if you have anotherpregnancy. So if this is going to be your last then just have the c section of you plan to have more try for a natural birth if anything bad happens during labor they will just organise a c section for you. Hope all goes well and good luck

I will be having 4th csection i did have one natural and i honestly dont think it gets any worse. I prefer csection i almost did the vbac after my first csection but the nurses freaked me out telling me it could go wrong and all the risks so i stuck with csection.

I was scared my second would be the same way as my firsr so I just went c section again and I'll be having my third in April. I like the fact of knowing when my baby will be here and not the waiting game..lol
