Ok, so you decided that you're going for that vaginal birth after a cesarean... how do you set yourself up for it to be "successful" (meaning, happen. You're a success whether you have a vaginal birth or cesarean birth FYI)? Are there things you can do before birth that can help? Are there things that make you more or less likely for it to "work"? YES! I lay it out for you here - you CAN do it, persevere, be patient, trust in the process, and flex & flow! I'm cheering you on!

I had a successful vbac on January 24th and it was the BEST decision and experience EVER!!! My doctor induced me at 39weeks. I had an epidural and pushed for 20mins tops! I was told I had a low chance for a successful vbac by my doctor but she still supported my decision to try for a vbac. We all had a celebration once our sweet baby girl Malia arrived! 💕 YOU CAN DO IT!!! 👣

I just had a successful vba2c 2 weeks ago.. I switched doctors at 37 weeks and it was the best decision I’ve made! Pushed less than 15 min and my baby boy was placed on me💙💙 it really depends on your provider if they are vbac supportive or vbac tolerant and Sarah is right advocate for yourself and get informed for successful vbac. The calculator is not accurate I was told less than 38% for successful vbac.. I didn’t listen to that and had no complications! Praise god

I am due today with my 2nd. I am hoping for a vbac. The closer and closer I get to delivering, the more anxious I get. The more I doubt myself. One thing I had in my mind was that, if I had the same issues with this delivery as with the first (the baby not dropping), I'd ask for a c-section, to avoid an emergency situation. Your video really helped me want to push past that point. I even shared some of your tips with my husband and I could see they made him feel a lot better as well. Thanks so much for this and hopefully this delivery goes well!

Sarah, this was so helpful for me. I had a c-section almost 11 months ago and have been trying to do as much research as I can on VBAC! I dilated to a 6 after going into labor naturally at home and stayed there for over 12 hours once in the hospital😬, in the mean time I was given two epidurals which both did not work at all (having intense back labor). I ended up having a 9lb 5 oz baby, her being delivered only 2 days late via emergency csection. My question is, would it be possible for me to attempt a vbac at a birthing center without pain medication (because the epidural didn’t even work so, what’s the point)? Also, are there certain guidelines for a vbac when baby is measuring large for gestational age? Thank you for all of your content, I am so encouraged by you and wish you could be my doula 💁🏻‍♀️

I woke up with a toothache this morning but also have had an ear infection so I'm not sure if it's the ear infection causing the toothache (I get ear infections chronically and have never had a toothache with them before) or if it's a pregnancy-related dental issue. I am consulting with my OBGYN and dentist but just thought it was a good potential topic for your channel 😁

My vbac calculator result is 40%. A vbac at home has an 80% success rate across the board. The biggest factor is your providers mindset. I'll be having my vbac at home in December with an awesome midwife who supports the hormonal blueprint and is very hands off. 👏👏👏 I will not be having any cervical checks unless I ask for one, which I most definitely will not do😁

Thank you for presenting all this information in such an encouraging way! My firstborn is 6 months old right now, and I’m about 8 weeks along with my second. My son was an unplanned c-section. I’m hoping for a VBAC with this baby but am worried about the short amount of time between giving birth and conceiving. The main concern is the integrity and healing progress of my incision site. Do you have any more info on that? The 18 months suggestion is always put out there first but most literature I find on the subject suggests the majority of healing is done in the weeks right after. I would appreciate any articles or videos you could point me towards!

I wish you could be my doula for my next baby! I had an emergency csection (fetal distress) last summer with our first baby (girl) and I have been super sad/ traumatized about my labor experience because of it. I labored for 34 hours and pushed for 1 hour and it all ended in a csection. I am really wanting to do a VBAC but my doctors (who I loved) absolutely don’t do it as their policy. Im debating whether or not to go for a VBAC which is unknown, or just doing a scheduled csection with the doctors I know and trust. I feel confident though that I could deliver vaginally if given the chance since I was so close in my first labor!! Such a tough choice.

My first pregnancy I got induced at 39weeks by my doctor who was going to be out of town on my due date. I was very naive and didn’t have anyone telling me otherwise. I wasn’t dilating at all, my daughter went into distress and was breech. I believe she wasn’t ready. I ended up having a C-section. Very traumatic and dreaded the idea of getting pregnant again. I’m now pregnant and due in September 2022 and my new doctor said I’m a candidate for a Vbac and couldn’t be more excited and happy/nervous. I really hope it’s successful and smooth.

I am pursuing a VBAC....with our current times of COVID...doulas are not allowed for L&D. Is it still a good idea to hire a doula or birth coach for prenatal and mental support before I go into labor?

What if my provider exists on having a c-section if I already had a vbac

@GlitterbillySav 4 жыл бұрын

I’m a little nervous about the process. I was sure I wasn’t the proper candidate for VBAC. I’m obese and I’ve had two previous c sections. I’m 30. And the dr who performed the second c section has told me he’s okay with trying a VBAC this time. I haven’t gained a lot this pregnancy, not that I could afford to, and I’ve been told it’s ‘all baby’. He’s also larger and the dr was worried about gestational diabetes but I passed the glucose 1 hr. Toward the end of the 3rd trimester now and he says if I go into labor naturally and can progress to 5 on my own then we will try to push, and if not he will take the baby mid 39 weeks. I’ve gone back and forth for a few reasons. I have a 1 year old I have to chase after along with my oldest who is 8, and I’m getting her back and forth to school and running the house. I can’t really afford to be out of commission and if I have the c section I won’t be able to lift my heavy son for 7 weeks (the 1 year old). If I don’t have a c section, I have to come back 6 weeks later to get tubes tied like I’m hoping to do, and I really can’t afford to take time off a second time for an additional procedure when I have all these babies to care for. If im being honest it probably won’t happen if we can’t get it done all at once. I don’t know what my stance is. It’s just a complicated situation

The most horrible thing about my son’s birth (2019) was the constant re-traumatization caused by the horrible nurses! Yes, I said it. Because only a horrible person would find it in any way appropriate to come into the room of a woman in que for a c-section and demand to know about her history of IVF and miscarriages, when they could just look at her well documented chart instead. I was there to have a baby, and no less than 7 hospital employees brought me to tears rehashing my history of loss. It was so. Awful.

Trying for my 2nd vbac with an extremely unsupportive obgyn. Last vbac birth was 5 years ago I have GD and elevated BMI (same with all 3 pregnancies) this dr is pushing me into induction and epidural and makes me uncomfortable. Even though I stated I'm not comfortable with her n want new dr. She hasn't referred me out yet. Overall I'm super nervous now with 2 weeks to go until 37 weeks. I never had these doubts with my first vbac as I had such an amazing dr

@sarahlavonne 5 жыл бұрын

Honestly this sounds complex and I'm not your doctor... In general the water breaking isn't a reason not to be able to have a Vbac, but with her leaking fluid and preterm she needs to go to the hospital to be monitored, in general as long as her doc is good with it she could Vbac and they need to watch for signs of complications... Her age doesn't matter... But again, if her fluids is leaking she should go in and ask what the risks are to a Vbac and if there are any signs of complications and how the baby is doing. So much love it's going to be ok... She's so lucky to have you 💖

28 weeks here and have been prepping for VBAC. My csection was done because I pushed for 4 hours and baby did not descend. The doctor says that my body just isnt made for delivery. I'm heading for a second opinion but my origional doctor says that he put in my charts he strongly suggests I do not not have a VBAC. Due to the fact that it will probably end in another section. And I do love my doctor and appreciate his professional opinion, I just was super uneducated for my first birth, and just scared the whole time. This time I want to go.in with an open mind and having more education going into my labor. Am I a really bad candidate for VBAC? my soul will be crushed if I just can not even attempt it.
