Chances of VBAC next time?

Hi ladies,



I had a c section on 1st April with my first baby. I'm not planning another baby for a couple years yet but i felt i missed out on my lovely birth experience with my c section. I'm very squeamish so i can hardly remember baby being born because i was so preoccupied with everything they were doing to me! Also, i have had uterus infections and wound problems since so i would really like to avoid another at all costs if possible! The thought of another c section actually puts me off having another baby!



What are the chances of having a VBAC? The reasons for my c sections were failure to progress and baby becomming distressed. (Obviously i know nothing is guaranteed and it's a chance you take but just wanted to know the likelihood...)

xx

    As far as being allowed to try for a VBAC, it would be positively encouraged so you wouldn't have any problems with the conusltant giving you the go ahead. I think someone posted on here a couple of days ago a stat that 75% are successful. The only thing to bear in mind is that you aren't induced (I don't think) and they only let you labour for a relatively short period of time x

    most hospitals are pro vbac, i also had problems with my wound post section which is part of my reasons for wanting vbac although i will be sectioned if i go over, however a lady on a thread over in pregnancy her area does induce if you go over x
