Can I get a VBAC after having 3 previous C-sections?

A lot of women want to know if they can have a VBAC, or attempt a vaginal birth after a C-section, after having 3 previous C-sections. And the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, or ACOG, the authorities on everything labor and delivery say that a woman may potentially attempt a vaginal birth after a c-section if she's had 2 previous C-sections and the circumstances are right. In other words the chance of a woman potentially having a vaginal birth needs to be high and the chances of her having a uterine rupture need to be low. And again under the right circumstances it might be possible but only a woman’s doctor can determine fi shes a good candidate for a VBAC or not. If a woman has had 3 previous C-sections then she can not have a vaginal birth. It's not recommended because the chances of having a uterine rupture or other complications are so high that it just shouldn't even be tried. SO after 2 you may possibly attempt a VBAC and you can talk with your doctor and they'll determine if you're a candidate. If you've had 3 or more in the past then you can just plan on having repeat C-sections for future children. Of course if you have more specific concerns you should talk with your OB provider and they can give you tailored information and advice about what to expect. And if you have more questions in the future for me feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at intermountainmoms and recommend us to your friends and family to.

Everything this woman says is completely WRONG. There is almost NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE in danger of rupture, which is incredibly small, between vba2c , 3c , 4c or any other number. I want her to reply here and show me her stats on this supposed GREAT danger.

You are absolutely RIGHT!! actually there are studies done showing there is NO extra risk to a mother whose had multiple csection, and ACOG actually says a woman who has had more than 2 C-sections that wants to TOLAC should NOT be denied.

@@louisacapell Yep I posted actual studies done by Drs such as Landon, who have looked into higher order vbacs (vba4c/ vba5c ect) and it was taken down, I also posted the health issues that come with multiple csections, that was taken down. I hope any woman who comes on here sees these comments.

I just had a VBA4C! It was the most empowering and healing birth. I found Hazel Keedle who is a VBAC researcher on Facebook and she breaks down the studies. The risk of rupture doesn’t double with each csection.

That’s a lie. Stop saying can’t because the risk doesn’t go up that much after two vs three. Just stop speaking because you are fear mongering

The answer is yes, she can have a vbac after 3 csections! I did, 3 days ago 😄🙌 How?? 1. I questioned my Dr as to why I couldn’t try. The official answer is there are not enough studies to prove the safety. So…that means there are not enough studies to prove it isn’t safe 😉 I asked if there are any risks to multiple repeat csections, and there are, so this issue is gray, not black and white. 2. When I arrived at the hospital, I looked the Dr in the eye and said “I’m exercising my right not to consent to surgery.” It is legally considered assault for them to perform surgery on you against your consent! 3. As a woman of faith in Christ, I prayed over this birth, for the Good Shepherd to lead. I wasn’t against a csection if it was truly necessary, but I wanted a vbac if I could do it. I prayed for wisdom to know if I should agree to an emergency C-section or not. So when they told me they recommend a csection when I first showed up at the hospital, I said no. When they offered again hours later due to “failure to progress,” I said no, that I wanted more time. With an epidural, I slept all night and by morning was dilated to 10cm and pushed baby out. Had there been a concerning sign along the way (consistent pattern of abnormal fetal heart rate) I would have agreed to the csection. But not just to adhere to an arbitrary policy. So, yes, it absolutely is possible to vbac after more than 2 csections, because I did!!!!

I’d like to add that I did not have pitocin to speed the labor, as I was concerned about how that would affect baby and my scars.

Congrats!!! You are an absolute queen. Do you mind sharing more details? I’m a believer too. I truly have faith in God that He can heal any uterus. I am pregnant with my fourth child. I do not want a fourth C-section. I have always dreamed of pushing a baby out and placing that baby on my chest. How many weeks were you? When did they want you to schedule a repeat?

My mother had uterine rupture on her fourth birth, she almost died and my sister almost died too. She wasn't trying to have a normal delivery. In fact she was supposed to have another c-section, but since in the 80's the tecnology of image exams wasn't well developed, her doctor said the baby was premature because if it's size (but the baby was totally normal sized and on the right timing). She started having "a little pain" here and there (contractions), but since she always went throught c-sections since her first pregnancy, she wasn't able to recognize that she was having real contractions and that she was indeed in labor. She told the doctor she was having "some pain", and he told her to stay at home and rest because the baby was premature and it wasn't time yet. Well...in the end, her "pain" (contractions) got worse, my fathet took her to the hospital when contractions were only 1 minute apart, and when she was on the surgery room preparing for c-section, her uterus ruptured. If she wasn't right on the surgery room at that moment, if she was still at home or if she was trying to do a vaginal birth in the hospital, she could haved died. Now, I'm not saying women shouldn't have VBA3C or VBA4C...but it is indeed very risky and it should be carefully planned! VBAC is a possibility, but so is uterine rupture. The patient needs to be aware of her choice, and the doctor needs to have experience and know what he is doing (that wasn't the case for my mom's doctor I guess...).

I know someone personally who had a uterine rupture for her first child. It can happen to anyone depending on your own uterus and that can’t be predicted for anyone if they will have a rupture or jot

Back in the 80s they did vertical lines basically cutting your uterus in half. That's not how the are performed now. They do small horizontal cuts now. So there is significantly less risk now than there was back then.
