Generally, inductions are not recommended with VBACs. It sounds like your birth team was incompetent. So sorry that you went through this!

I know this is 4years later and you may not see this but Thank you so much for this video! Thank God and Bless you and your family! There are not too many videos on this subject from real ppl with experiences and you have answered so many questions and concerns that my OB and PCP did not tell me. I’m currently pregnant with our rainbow baby. I have two previous c-sections due to breeched babies and I am pushing so hard for a VBAC this time. My OB just look at me like no, why, just do a C section but not telling me why!! You are a blessing to all women and men that have had this experience or that maybe hoping for a VBAC! Thank you for your story, your honesty, and your strength to tell the world!! You are incredible!!

Omg!!! I am just over n over thinking how your dealt with all this right after giving birth. Its overwhelming. Did they not check this thickness of scar from previous C Section?

I tried for a vbac for baby #2 & it wasn't successful, but CS was smooth. Baby #3 was a planned CS. I'm thankful I had 3 CS. VBACS I guess aren't a good idea. Happy you and your daughter are fine.

Thanks for sharing your story! Listened to every word. I can imagine the decision to have kids being taken away. First 2 births happened in hospital and this time we decided for home birth. Medical interventions and making my wife fit their timeline is what cause my wife go under the knife. Inducing her was a big mistake and the synthetic drug puts unnatural stress on uterus and it just spiraled from there. This time it's a HBAC 2 and have such peace about it. I am thankful for your story and will take away lots from it, almost like a "what signs to look out for" if that's okay to say. It's easy to think it's all rosey but you have to also plan for the unexpected.

Seasoanl Effective Disorder is what im told. I have it too.winter blues. I hate it. I live in Pa. Nasty winters too. Im so grateful that u are feeljng better. God is so Good❤

🎉My son is turning 2 and having the same theme. Thank you for sharing your ideas! ❤

Awwww, try to join a support group,so you can be emotionally supported. Also i think your uterus ruptured happened because you said you had a prior c-section, and with that being said,they wasn't supposed to do that. They could had try with the non hormonal water base instead. Because that was told to me when i went in at 39 weeks because i had an prior c-section as well. Those doctors at that hospital could had avoided all of this,by telling you the truth. Because you had a previous c-section. It's best to opt out to get the induction. I pray god bless you with more children in the future in Jesus name and you just keep the faith.

Wow. I attempted the VBAC. 17 months after my first C-section. I was laboring but then after induction baby heart wasn’t tolerating it. Went in for the C-section. The Dr told me that the scar tissue from the uterus and my bladders was actually tearing. C-section ended up being a good thing. My first was vaginal. But coming to terms with I will now have to have a C-section if I get pregnant again. Having trouble with breast milk. But yet still desiring another baby has been a lot to take in. I hate C-section recovery. I wanted to have I medicated birth but hearing your story is making my jaw drop because I feel like this could have been me if I fought them. Thank god your here!

i feel so bad for you i hope Thing's start to get better and just un option if you really really want to have another baby you could get a surrogate(someone who carrys your baby for you)Many people who can't carry a baby Themselves get a surrogate. i pray that everything will get better for you have a good day/night.

So sorry about everything that happened to you! I hope by now you're better and enjoying your precious baby.

I'm listening to this and so much of it seems improbable. I'm not even a gyn, and I kind of wonder if whoever what's supposed to be taking care of you was either!! It's insane! Everyone seemed to miss obvious!! This is how and why America lets women die in childbed. You were fumbled! These a holes are doing CT on you before ultrasound?! 😡 That said, do you have a weak contractions knowing that you're trying to VBAC? 🤨🤨⁉️🧐 That was not advised. If you talk to that urogyn they would have never suggested you try to VBAC.

I am so sorry that this happened to you but I’m happy that both you and baby are healthy. I would like people who are watching to know that this is very rare though. I had a VBAC nearly two months ago and my babies were only 16 months apart. Unfortunately sometimes people don’t heal as they should but that is rare so I hope no one is discouraged in attempting a VBAC since It’s so much better than a repeat C-section (most of the time)!

So glad youre not going to risk having another baby. Definitely seems too risky.

Maybe this is God opening a door for you to adopt.

My hospital won't induce for VBAC because it increases the risk of uterine rupture. It's hard to fathom how this team did not seem to take your symptoms and pain more seriously and connect the dots.

You need to join a support group

You can absolutely hire a surrogate

So sorry you experienced this.This is why vbac's are so dangerous

Her head turned that way was a “acynclitic posterior” position….! I had a vbac at home with my first like that…. It was a crazy experience.

Maybe not share any lack of care..just incase it may affect your situation. Prayers for your wonderful family.

There are women that have spontaneous uterine ruptures during their first labor. THEY DIDNT CHOOSE THAT. Choosing to VBAC is agreeing that risks are worth it. Choosing to VBAC without informing yourself of the BIGGEST risk does not mean you didn't choose it. You took a calculated risk and this was the outcome of your actions. Very sad, you did not deserve it. But lets not act like it was a random thing that happened to your body :(

This breaks my heart . Thank you for sharing your story , this will save lives . I’m at risk for uterine rupture because I had uterine surgery and the doctor recommended a c section . I was really hoping for vaginal birth , but this has me reconsidering . Thank you ❤

I am sorry that you had to go through everything that you did. I would like to respectfully correct you on some terms that you are using concerning what you had done. You in fact did have a total hysterectomy. A partial hysterectomy leaves the cervix. If they remove the ovaries, uterus and the cervix that is called a total hysterectomy with oophorectomy. The term hysterectomy means only the uterus, oophorectomy means removal of the ovaries. For example I had a total abdominal hysterectomy. Which means that my surgery was done with a large incision through my c section scar. My ovaries were left.

In my country (where medicine is actually fucked up) it's forbidden to induce after CS or any surgery that leaves scar on the uterus because induced contractions are much stronger than the natural ones and there is a high risk of rupture or extreme bleeding. I know exactly because a friend of mine was sheduled for a cs after, i think, 40 weeks on case she wouldnt go into labour herself bc. her first son was born via. cs and they refused to induce her.

what was your scar thickness

No wonder women get ptsd after birth. Just horrible.

😮 How long after your section did you have the baby?

To be honest, I think the epidural probably diminishes a bodies ability to push safely 😢 I think we fear natural pain when we should be more fearful of the complications of medical interventions. IMO So sad that you had such a traumatic birth experience 😢

Im so sorry this happened to you ! Im in the uk, the nhs is unbelievably shocking alot of the time.. I have 3 children. First two normal, spontaneous births, both before due dates, 7 pounds 5 and 7 pounds 8, just gas and air. 1st 8hr birth 2hr pushing, 2nd 6ish hour birth, 25 mins pushing. So for my 3rd i really didnt think i would have any issues. Had a HB planned. Never teared of anything with the others, and only just made it with the second, so thought HB would be great. My wifewife ignored all my red flags also for week ! Raised BP. Protein in urine, swelling, weight gain, head aches constant and vision loss a few times. I pleased something was wrong, i said she was big! She said nope 8 pound max! Baby was 10 pound 11! So yea i had pre eclampsia, even at a home birth group my friend came to at about 36 weeks she said to the midwifes i think she has PE and i said also but nope nothing. Week before birth, so 39 weeks i had rang up saying if i walk my eyesight goes funny, like im under water ! But again nope just chill for a few hrs and see if it goes. I was begging to be made to go into labour, two previous kids i just knew. Anyway, lockdown hit those last few weeks. End of march wasnt it ? And i has her on the 16th april 2020. So so scary and thata why the wasnt watching properly, thats prob why the told me not to go up when the vision loss happend. Woke up on the 15th april, 40+2 i think., felt like i was going to die, like impending doom feeling, i was crying hysterical, told OH she needs to come up, shes not safe ect ect. Told midwife. Because of covid she didnt know if she had the clincal space to look! But she did get me the last appointment of the day, so 5ish for a sweep, done obs, urine and bloods and yea it was very bad PE worst bloods levels she had seen, i was so so poorly, got told if i hadnt managed to be seen and went sleep that night we prob would have both died.. Anyway, induction, break waters and drip, epidural (worst mistake, prob could have laboured better) PE oral meds didnt work, drip stopped working. 6cm thats all all distressed then emergency c sections. Meds for months, still health probs now. Just yea utter failure. I really would like another, but not sure i should. One thing though, i really dont understand why they induced you though! From what ive read in the uk, they only like a VBAC if you go into labour yourself and wont induce with any meds like the drip. They have other things if needed that's better. Seems from what im reading VBAC if i go in labour myself or c section and induction ups the chance of a rupture. Could be wrong, just what im reading. So so scary. Bit rant from me but yea births can be traumatic and nearly 4 years on its still hard.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. But am so glad your baby is doing so well. I went thru the same thing, loosening my choice to have more babies. I was bleeding and didn't know why. Not pregnant at the time. The Dr. I saw perked me around for so long, trying different things before I saw someone else for a second opinion. And by then it was too late. I had to have a hysterectomy. And was told if the first Dr. had done a certain. Procedure to begin with, it wouldn't have come to that. I was soon hurt and angry for so long. I wanted another baby. But couldn't any longer.So dear I def feel for you. And I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless you and your new baby.

One of the #1 issues of concern with a VBAC is uterine rupture. Everyone who attempts a vaginal birth would be warned of this risk. I am so sorry this happened ... such a heartbreaking complication. Im glad you are recovering and baby is great.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I had same experience of having a uterine rupture I couldn’t risk getting pregnant again, not fair to put the baby or myself in situation like that. Blessed to have my two babies now ❤

Your delivery was perfectly fine. Whoever doesn’t understand that has no heart. Don’t have to explain yourself but I’m glad you shared this update

just stumbled upon your video accidentally and im glad you shared it since when i was doing research on vbac the information is scare and they say the risk of uteran rupture is like 0.5% and then they skip the part to if you are a good candidate, not a good candidate etc.... and your story has the details i was looking for. Because while i was very much into trying vbac, i think your story is a good warning that maybe i shouldn't. I cant imagine your suffering and the not getting the whole picture about how severe your injury was and the doctors acting all clueless, and then you having to go all these weeks with a tube up your bladder. I did read that if it would be a vbac and with induction, the risks go really high and there arent many brave doctors to try that and your case was the illustration of that. But i also imagined that when the uterus ruptures you like blead out immediately since 500cc of blood passes through it each minute and it looks like its not the case - you were 'fine' with it for many weeks. So this lack of information from doctors really prevents people from making the correct decisions for themselves. I'm glad you and baby are alive, since those were the stakes.

What was the reason you have c section previously????

You're story is helping me come to a decision about my vbac. Being informed. I've seen several failed vbacs. And, while yours was not a fail, it sadly resulted in your current situation. BECAUSE I would like more children, I am choosing to try for a vbac. I am currently in a "scare" because of my c-section scar. I currently have a anterior placenta and it is low lying. Right next to my scar. I had an mfm tell me before they knew for sure to terminate my pregnancy. That if not I would have to get a hysterotomy because the placenta might be growing into my scar. That, too, is a 1 of 200 diagnosis. Then several weeks of ultrasounds and crying and being depressed, I still don't have a diagnosis, but a different mfm said it is looking like I might not have that placenta problem. That being said, the recovery for my c-section was not great. I could barely walk for more than 10 mins for a good 3 months. And I have a 1 year old who still likes to be picked up. So I am praying that I can have a successful vbac with no complications. And if I need a repeat c-section, I will cross that bridge for recovery when I get there. Thank you for telling your story.

Just ran across your video Thank God you and baby are safe. I’m very shocked you weren’t told that your uterus can rupture with a VBAC I’m so sorry you went through this. During my third C-section last February my doctor told me that I shouldn’t have anymore babies because my uterus is paper thin and it would be a very risky pregnancy 😢 I’m happy to see where you are at now that this is all over. God bless

I had to have an emergency hysterectomy on me after I had a miscarriage. I was devastated for months, and its still painful when I think about it.

Was the tear in your bladder from the Catheter? Did they rush to Cath you?

Having kids should never be this disastrous 😩. I'm so sorry.

Hola me podrías decir donde compraste lo de tu decoración loq pegaste en la pared esq nose como se llama 🤷 para comprarlo

Gap between c section and vbac?

Gap between c section and vbac?

Gap between c section and vbac?

What's your gap between 2 pregnancy? Means c section and vocab?

this reminds me so much of my last birth - wasn’t induced but it was crazy and we tried the vacuum and everything and ended in a c section 😭 about to have my 3rd baby in April i’m so nervous

This is awesome. What font is the donut font?

I am sad there is so much pressure to have a natural birth, how ever babies come into the world is beautiful and fabulous! You are the third person I have seen have this happen to, I had 3 c sections…the first one was an emergency c section ….I read the risks and chose them for the next two….people try to shame me for it…

disgusting mother new mom eat chicjken.... think shake was problem... wake up//... veganism is best. SE;LFISH INFECTION RISK AND SMELLY SMELLY POOTY AND PUTANG.. WOAH YUCK. IF MU WAS MY MOM ID NEVER FORGIVE U... MEAT CONSUMPTION IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF BABY REJECTING ITS MOTHERS MILK
