Ladies your bodies know how to labor and produce a baby. The thing you need to consider is it takes longer for women like us to labor and birth because our bodies know there has been a trauma there so it goes slower. Your body will not try to kill your baby. Please dont give into this fear mongering and know that you dont need anybody else to birth. Just yourself .

I am attempting a VBA2C and my midwife and doula is very supportive and I’ve seen hundreds of successful stories! The risk is just as high and dangerous for major abdominal surgery.. but doctors never talk about the risks for repeated cesareans only the risks for vaginal births.. and alot of these cesareans were not medically necessary just was “convenient” for doctors and hospitals.. faster they can clear a bed, the faster they can get a new customer! They don’t want mothers laboring in their beds too long.. there are many documentaries that explain the business of birth in the US and it’s sad 😢 also a lot of Dr do not carry malpractice insurance so whether you are a good candidate or not, they will always say “repeat c section”.

Unfortunately his not accurate on the rate of possible rapture after 2nd cesarean or any rate for that matter. This is what ACOB says: “One study found no increased risk of uterine rupture (0.9% versus 0.7%) in women with one versus multiple prior cesarean deliveries, whereas the other noted a risk of uterine rupture that increased from 0.9% to 1.8% in women with one versus two prior cesarean deliveries.” To say it’s from 1% to 5% is completely inaccurate in both aspects and also scary.

My sons head was much too large (just like his dads haha).

Thanks again!

This number is complete bull*t… sorry… don’t let him fool you. There are so many reasons why it didn’t work out the first time! I had the same situation with my first and my VBAC was absolutely easy. Just used a few techniques and positions from spinningbabies and it worked wonders. Maybe you were in a suboptimal position for delivery the first time? Or Scared? Or had an epidural? Or baby was in a bad position… which all can be completely different this time. Also the risk of uterine rupture does not increase to 5% after two C-sections. It increases from 0,2-0,5% to 1-2%. These are new scientific research results and this video is not at all up to date. In fact, to me it doesn’t seem VBAC friendly at all…

@@xNinchenx1991 The benefits are comfort, ease/ time of recovery, and some emotion related. The risk his life and death related. Much heavier. The longer labor, the more of an indication that there could be problems with the next delivery. Especially for a first time mom. It really needs to be an excellent evaluation of why the first C-section took place before deciding whether someone is a candidate or not. Trust me, as a surgical technologist for 18 years and the last three years doing solid C-sections every day… You don’t even want the tiniest uterine tear, there are a lot of things that have to be lined up in an order to save moms and babies life if this happens. I would say that you should put a little more weight on your urging moms to be educated and a lot less weight on criticizing professionals who are just trying to keep mom and baby safe. Also, it is completely untrue that a C-section is just as much of a risk VBAC. 100% wrong information. Ridiculous. I am pro VBACK back , but only for an accurately evaluated, excellent candidate. regarding this subject, going conservative is directly related to life and death.

I always dreamed of a vaginal delivery since I was a kid even. At 40 weeks with my first child I went in to be induced and after cervadil, cytotec, and pitocin my daughter was delivered at 40 weeks +2 via c-section because my water had been ruptured for 30 hours. Baby was healthy and never in distress. I recently spoke with my doctor and she informed me that the hospital she delivers at does not allow vbacs since they do not always have a doctor or anesthesiologist on staff. I love my doctor and cannot imagine switching from her or switching hospitals even. My daughter was born almost 10 months ago and I cannot let the thought go that this is my fault for choosing to be induced on my due date instead of trying to wait another week or so. I am extremely heartbroken about the whole thing and struggling on how to heal emotionally and how to move forward with any future pregnancies. 😔

For me personally, waiting did not help. I was 40 weeks and 6 days when I had my son. No epidural, attempted to induce labor with pictocin and breaking my water. (After being pressured to do so.) My contractions were strange. They would get so close together like they were supposed to then abruptly stop. I finally labored for 8 hours straight and got to 9-10 cm just to have an emergency C-section bc his heart rate was dropping and the umbilical cord wrapped around his foot as he was trying to uh..make his exit. It's so easy to feel so guilty when things don't go the way you want them to...in the end you gotta trust your body even if it does what you don't want it to do. I hope by reading this, it'll take away some of the guilt you may feel. I know I honestly went through some severe PPD not having the natural birth I wanted. But I should/am thankful for being able to have my healthy baby boy at all. He is about to be 14 months now and I'm 27 weeks pregnant now with a healthy baby girl so far. I pray and wish you all, all the best. And don't feel guilty for doing what you have to do for taking care of you and your precious baby!

I was so terrified of trying a vacation after a traumatic labor and emergency c section with my first daughter in 1997. I chose c sections for my other three children. I was terrified of a normal labor and delivery.

In my case it's not clear what caused the c-section, probably several factors, big baby, never really enganged properly, inflammation, interventions, placenta then detached partially due to overstimulation through induction. Smaller baby this time, engaged etc. I was told my chances are good.

You seem like such an amazing DR. So well spoken, calm and seem very kind. I'm here because I had a Csection 8 years ago and I am currently pregnant and being advised from my OB that he will NOT do a VBAC, he doesnt want to take the risk also states that becuase i'm African American my pelvis is shaped differently which can make it difficult..... My baby was breeched and I would like to have the opportunity to do a VBAC because I also do want to have 1 more child. Unfortunately, My OB has not given me any of the info you have provided in this video. My OB is great and he performed by csection for my last pregnancy but I am hurt that he wont even allow me to try to deliver vaginally and so quick to slice me up through a csection. I want to have the opportunity to deliver without a csection....do you recommend women switching providers do to a situation like this? I would've loved to be one of your patients.

Thanks for this video! Three questions: If a woman's first pregnancy resulted in a planned C-section (i.e. she has an "unproven pelvis"), does that have any impact on chance of success with vbac? Given the small risk of uterine rupture and emergent C-section, is it advisable to labor with an epidural in place so that C-section can be performed more quickly without requiring general anesthesia (or would a rupture necessarily result in a need to put the pt under? Does an induction increase the risk of rupture i.e. is there any sense in planning a repeat C-section unless labor occurs spontaneously i.e. avoiding need for an induction?

Best video about vbac so far.. It really gave me hope to get my vbac done successfully I am 37 weeks.. I had a Csection 5 and half years ago with my son.. Because I had Preeclampcia and I had an elective Csection at 34 weeks.. But in this pregnancy my blood pressure is normal and there is no sign of Preeclampcia.. I really hope to deliver this baby Vaginally.. But in India doctors don't promote or support vbacs that much.. Hope for the best

Ok so I was pumped to having a VBAC but now unsure after watching that... My story is that when I was 15 I laboured for 8 hours and tried pushing her out for 2 hours being unable and they gave me a emergency csection! 21 years later lol I am due to have my 2nd baby in May and I reallllllly wanted to try vbac but the dr in this video said I’m only 20% chance because of my first labouring story. I am a right candidate except for that and even my hospital is all for me to try but I don’t want to try if it’s only going to be 20% success and then after all that have a csection anyway :( also I had a tummy tuck over 5 years ago cut over my csection scar.. does that count as 2 or would still only count as 1? I’m so confused cos I would love to vbac but any risk at all to baby I would never try :(
@jenviworld1975 жыл бұрын
