Did you do anything differently than with your c-section birth?</p> <p>My first was a c-section for failure to progress after making it to 9.5 cms that I do not feel was necessary. It's a whole saga that makes me emotional to relive - suffice to say, I knew I wanted something different for any future births while in recovery from my first.</p> <p>I am planning on seeing a chiropractor well versed in the Webster method in the last month or so of my pregnancy, I have hired a doula, and I am seeing a group of midwives who practice out of a hospital with great c-section/VBAC rates. I have been listening to lots of podcasts about the good/bad/ugly of all forms of childbirth (specifically, The Birth Hour and The VBAC Link). I am taking frequent walks and using a standing desk at work whenever possible. I am telling myself that if I am as prepared and knowledgeable as possible and still end up in a c-section, I wont feel as unsettled about it this time around - however, I know I would be very disappointed.</p> <p>I'm wondering how I should be directing my energy - should I be thinking that this will be a successful VBAC and only think positive things? Should I be accepting of whatever happens is meant to happen? Am I over-preparing or getting my hopes up?</p> <p>Any thoughts on the matter and/or personal experiences in this realm of childbirth are greatly appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-one-have-more-than-one-successful-vbacs#post-2801664 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 15:14:14 +0000 misolee 2801664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first (girl) was 41 weeks, induced, labored 24 hours with pitocin, progressed to 9cm, and then got stuck for 4 hours before they pushed me to csection. No regrets. Easy recovery and although it did take a little while for milk to come in, BF was fine.</p> <p>2nd (boy) i went into really fast labor at 38 weeks where they basically told me to push when I got to the hospital. So med-free vbac. Physical recovery was harder, milk came in faster, and BF was fine.</p> <p>3rd (Girl) is happening sometime soon 4ish weeks left if I go full term. Wondering if anyone has any experience with 3rd birth? I'm hoping my vbac wasn't a fluke bc he came so early and fast and I can do it again. Preferably fast labor like last time :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-birth-story#post-2773275 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 18:11:27 +0000 castilrm 2773275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't posted too often on this board (although I've certainly read through a million posts in trying to make my decision to VBAC or have a RCS), but I just wanted to post my recent birth story in case it is helpful to anyone considering a VBAC after having an unplanned c-section after failing to progress in labor.</p> <p>With my first, my water broke at 39 weeks and after dilating quickly on my own, I got "stuck" at +2 station after pushing off and on for a few hours. I did have an epidural but did not get one until 7 cm. After things stalled during pushing, I was given pitocin and baby suffered some heart decals and I began to have an increased temp. We had poor support from the nurses and the OB was inattentive and negative once pushing began to take "too long." Ultimately we were pushed into a c-section because the on call OB was concerned over potential infection and my ability to push out the baby, who ended up being 7lbs and 8 oz.</p> <p>With my second pregnancy, I was undecided between RCS and VBAC until about 28 weeks. I hated that no one could really tell me what led to the c section the first time and I was worried that my pelvis was too small or there was some sort of physiological issue. My OB was supportive of a VBAC but was also very straightforward regarding my statiscal chances of a successful VBAC considering my history. The hospital had a strong VBAC record and my OB was onboard with letting me go to at least 41 weeks before a RCS. Ultimately I decided to go for it because I at least wanted a chance at a vaginal delivery and better recovery with a toddler at home. To help my chances, I hired a doula and began doing chiropractic adjustments once a week. I sat on a yoga ball nightly to help with positioning the last few weeks. </p> <p>Last week, at 40 weeks and 1 day, I went into labor at about 6 am with strong but spaced out (10 min apart) contractions. At 7:30 am, my water broke while I was getting ready to take my daughter to preschool and the contractions increased so we called her grandparents to help with our daughter and called our doula to meet us at the hospital. By the time we reached the hospital at 9 am, my contractions were nonstop and I was at already 7-8 cm when checked at triage. By the time we got into the labor and delivery room (less than 10 min from my cervical check), I was completely dilated and my body began to push out the baby. Truthfully I had wanted an epidural because I did not think I could handle the pain especially during pushing but there was zero time to get an epidural and after I got over the shock of how fast this labor was happening compared to my first, I realized that the need to push was so much stronger and instinctual than with my first. I don't know if that was due to the lack of epidural or baby's position, but within an hour of getting to the hospital, I was able to push my baby girl (who was nearly two lbs bigger than my first) out. My OB, nurses and doula were all great this time and gave good instructions and support through out. I did have a third degree tear but a week out from her birth, I feel much more capable of physical activity than I did after the c section at this time.</p> <p>Thanks to all ladies who shared their stories on this board and who commented on my original post! Reading your tips and stories were a huge boost during my pregnancy and fast &amp; furious labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-vbac-birth-story#post-2763946 Tue, 01 Aug 2017 14:52:51 +0000 justjules 2763946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to write up my VBAC birth story. In the months leading up to my due date, I read every vbac story I could get my hands on, (ICAN blog has a lot of these) and I think it really helped me feel empowered for my own birth. Every story is different and I liked reading about the range of possibilities of what could happen. </p> <p>Background: when I was pregnant with Ezra, I never considered that I would have a csection. I was healthy and young and figured csections only happened in big emergencies or when it was scheduled. I figured big emergencies were rare and I wasn't going to schedule one so... that was that. </p> <p>My labor was fairly standard. I went into labor at night, labored at home for a few hours, then went to the hospital when contractions were 5min apart for an hour. I labored some more at the hospital, got an epidural, kept going. Baby was sunny side up and stalled out at 9cm for 7 hours. His heart rate was dropping fast so into the surgery I went. Official reason: failure to progress. (So much more detail I could go into but tried to keep that one short) </p> <p> Birth Story:<br /> On Monday night I started to have contractions that were more painful than BH. we were skyping with friends and I had to keep walking out of the video frame to breath through them. We ended the call at 10pm and I promptly went to bed. At 1am I finally got out of bed because the contractions were too intense to lay down through them. I went to the living room and timed them at 10min apart. For the rest of the night my contractions ranged from 5min apart to sometimes as long as 12min but never went away. I wasn't able to sleep at all and by the morning was so frustrated and tired. The contractions were as painful as when I went into labor with LO1 but they werent getting closer together. I didn't know if this was the real thing or not but DH stayed home Tuesday to help with LO1 because I literally couldn't do anything. They were still coming every 5-10 min and I struggled through each one. </p> <p>By the end of the day I was so exhausted, discouraged and scared of heading into another sleepless night. DH took LO1 to dinner so I could focus on getting through every contraction. I was in tears not just because of the pain but because I was emotionally and mentally tired. I had been in this limbo labor for 16 hours straight already and it didn't seem like things were going to speed up. It's funny to look back at it but I remember thinking that I was going to be in labor forever. The end seemed so far away. </p> <p>FINALLY my contractions started to get consistently 5min apart. DH returned from dinner and put LO1 to bed, a friend came over to babysit, and we headed to the hospital at 7pm. </p> <p>I was checked in and dialed to a 5 (at least those 18 hours of laboring at home did something!) </p> <p>I labored for a few more hours then got an epidural. I was really hesitant about getting one since I was trying for vbac and didn't want to slow down labor at all. But my OB kept stressing that I get one in case of emergency c section and I had already been awake/laboring for such a long time.</p> <p> I labored throughout the night, crunching on ice chips and trying to stay positive while getting NO SLEEP because nurses insisted on bursting into the room and checking to make sure I wasn't dying from uterine rupture (the biggest and scariest complication from a vbac) DH was able to fall asleep, though and every few weeks when I think about those hours I have to forgive him again. </p> <p>at 5am doc checked me and said I was fully dialated. I abruptly burst into happy tears. My biggest worry was another failure to progress situation. The room suddenly filled with people. I didn't know it was a little odd to have such an audience till I told my story to a friend and she mentioned how there were only like 5 people in her room. DH counted 17 people during my pushing. A whole group in the back were interns learning about VBACs. After I gave birth they all lined up to say congratulations. I felt like I was in a receiving line at a wedding where I don't know half the people. Someone would and tell me "oh she's beautiful! Congrats!" with such enthusiasm and I'm just looking at their face like "am I suppose to know who you are?" </p> <p>Pushing was such a surreal experience. It was my favorite part of labor. Contractions felt so passive- just dealing through pain- but pushing felt active. I could help get this baby out of here. DH took a very big role in the process and did a great job coaching me up. I only yelled at him once because they had him count to 10 for every push. After awhile I turned and screamed "YOURE COUNTING TOO SLOW! I CAN'T PUSH THAT LONG!" He responded by turning up Jay Z from his iPhone and got the majority of the crowded room to sing along. Bless him. </p> <p>At 5:55 Wednesday morning (April 19th), Eden was born via vbac after 29 hours of active labor! (I might throat punch anyone who says second labors are shorter) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/considering-a-vbac-would-love-stories-and-opinions#post-2738750 Mon, 22 May 2017 17:31:02 +0000 castilrm 2738750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,<br /> I've posted a couple times on other pregnancy/childbirth sites, but this is my first post on Hellobee. Honestly, most of my posts lately are related to VBAC considerations b/c now that I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my second, I think about it frequently. I'd love to hear from other moms in the same boat, or who have gone through a VBAC (successfully or which ended in a C-section) as I gather more information in making my own decision.<br /> As some background, I had my first daughter in May 2015. My water broke at 39 weeks, I dilated to 10 relatively quickly for a first time mom, but after pushing for a few hours and baby not budging (head was visible but she was stuck at about +2 station), a C-section was recommended (partly also b/c of maternal fever and baby heart decels). All-in-all, my recovery was not bad - the worst part was having had labored leading into the surgery. But b/c my C-section recovery was doable, and my two main goals are to have an easier recovery than last time and have a better experience than last time, I'm stuck on which decision is best - repeat C-section or VBAC. I would hate a repeat of last time, or to have something more serious occur.<br /> I'm just curious to hear stories and if things went well, how you prepared for a VBAC. Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-updated-post#post-2683158 Thu, 19 Jan 2017 13:47:21 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2683158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember posting after I had my first baby and I have searched on here a few times, but wondered if people would like to post their vbac successes and attempts. There have probably been quite a few more since I first posted (Oct. 2015). </p> <p>I'm currently 12.5 weeks and hoping to have a vbac. My first was an induction at 42 weeks, with no prior BH or indications that labour was coming (ever). I had a couple of stretch and sweeps and started labour at 1-2 cm dilated with my water being broken straight away and pitocin. It ended in a c-section after I pushed for a few hours and she was deemed stuck. She was 9.14 at birth. </p> <p>So I'd love to hear your stories! (or even if you're planning/hoping to have one too and come back to update as well :) And a brief history of your first c-section. Thanks. It's so hard to navigate being stressed out about whether or not I'll even go into labour and it will happen or not, along with worries about all the risks to me and baby in both situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/successful-vbac-2nd-pregnancy#post-2674134 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 07:45:50 +0000 Onyx81 2674134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am due in May with my second child, a baby girl. I had a C section 3 years ago this March with my son. I had a scheduled induction with my son. When I got there, I was in the early stages of labor, and dialated 3 cm. They adminstered pitocin, and after 13 hours, I had only dialated to 5 cm, and my son’s heart rate periodically dropped due to the pitocin; therefore, I had a C Section with my 9 lb 5 oz son which was apparently really large for my frame because people always comment about it which I think is odd. It wasn’t that bad, and the longer hospital stay was nice because I had more than enough time to work with a lactation consultant at the hospital, which I believe was part of the reason I was so successful with breastfeeding. This time around, I really don’t want the longer hospital stay because I want to be home with my son. I also won’t have as much help the week I get home like I did last time when I am still sore and unable to drive. My doctor and I started the conversation about the birth at my 20 week appointment. He said that if I was planning on having more childeren, he would reccomend to try a VBAC, but since this will most likely be my last child, a repeat C Section seems to be his reccomendation, but he did stress that it is my decision. If this baby is as large as the last though, he seems to see apprehensive about a VBAC as well since I did struggle with it the first time around. My questions for you are, how many of you out there had a successful VBAC with your second child? Why did you have a C Section the first time? If you didn’t have a successful VBAC, what caused it to be unsuccessful? I just trying to hear different experiences to help me make my decision. Luckily, it is a decision I have time to think about, but I also know May will be here before I know it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653197 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:00:58 +0000 LBee 2653197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you go into labor? </p> <p>What was your reason for prior c-section? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-doula-at-your-vbac-and-was-it-helpful#post-2601999 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 16:58:08 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2601999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have a doula present for my first birth, which was a failed induction (no contractions) ending up with an unscheduled c-section.

I'd like to attempt a VBAC with baby #2 but I am so not into preparing for it like I was with #1 (busy with working, recent move, active toddler). Am I nuts for going into it "blind" so to speak?

I didn't want a c-section, but after being two weeks late, induced, in labour, and pushing for two hours, was told that the baby was too big and stuck so that was my only option. My recovery wasn't great and I ended up with an infection. I would like to try for a vbac next time and was told I would be able to because my induction worked and I didn't need cervidil. So my questions are these for people who have had vbac or tried to:</p> <p>What were the circumstances surrounding your c-section?</p> <p>How long did you wait between deliveries of babies? I was told they like you to wait 18-24 months between deliveries for you to try for a vbac. </p> <p>What number pregnancy/child was your vbac?</p> <p>Was your vbac successful? If not, why?</p> <p>Were you worried about uterine rupture during your pregnancy and/or during your delivery?</p> <p>If your vbac was successful were you happy that you had a vbac?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-gimme-all-your-info#post-2564593 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 15:55:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 2564593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have one?<br /> Do you plan to?<br /> Links to your birth stories would be great, too!</p> <p>I have a friend who wants to pursue one, and I'm trying to get some real life stories for her :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-calculator-whats-your#post-2545448 Tue, 10 May 2016 14:46:16 +0000 justjules 2545448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an unwanted C section and am starting to do my homework for #2, since I really want a VBAC.</p> <p>According to this VBAC calculator, I have a 51.3-67.6% chance depending if I select hispanic or not.

After a failed ECV I scheduled a c-section and he was born at 39+1. I had a great c-section experience and have no regrets. He was perfectly healthy (despite a little jaundice) although pretty little - 6lbs, 4oz.</p> <p>Now I am pregnant with twins and considering my delivery options. As long as baby A is head down, my OB is encouraging a VBAC. I have told her I most likely want a repeat c-section. We're scheduling one for 38 weeks but she wants to see what happens with a trial of labor if I go into labor prior to 38 weeks (within reason of course).</p> <p>What would you do? Here are my thoughts...</p> <p>If I go with a repeat c-section I know exactly what my recovery will be. I won't be damaging my vagina or suffering any long-term consequences (like some of my friends with recurring bladder issues). I know that there will be no risk to my fragile little ones, who could need NICU care. And I won't have to face a chance that I could vaginally deliver one and still need a c-section for the other (though odds are small of this).</p> <p>If I go with a VBAC, I have no idea how my body handles labor - it could go well or I could have all sorts of issues. I could get out of the hospital quickly with a shorter recovery and I won't have to worry about not being able to pick up my older son when he wants me. Finally, if we ever decided to have more children (we're really up in the air about if this will ever happen) it would be a much healthier option for my body.</p> <p>So to all mamas (and especially twin mamas) what would you do in this situation? I think if this were a singleton I'd go VBAC with no concern, but the fact that they're twins really has me feeling uncomfortable about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2003915 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:59:21 +0000 Phillybaby2013 2003915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5618150" rel="nofollow">http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5618150</a></p> <p>Not sure if anyone already posted this but I liked it.

My midwives have been optimistic about a possible VBAC but today they gave me statistics that said only 15% of VBACs after making it to 10 cm are successful.<br /> This is pretty discouraging and I was hoping to get some other people's experiences to help me feel more comfortable!<br /> Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-the-vbac-experts#post-1939289 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:28:59 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1939289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a little long, but I know other mommas on here are trying to make this decision too so this may help them too. </p> <p>I am still on the fence between VBAC and RCS. My OB thinks I am a good candidate to try, so I have sorta settled on scheduling a RCS close to my due date and trying for a VBAC if I go into labor on my own before that. </p> <p>One thing that occurred to me yesterday though is that my doctor initially told me that if my babies were close together (pregnant at 15 months or sooner PP) I would have to do a RCS for safety reasons. </p> <p>LO will be turning two 2 days after my due date...so he was exactly 15 months when I got pregnant and technically I am literally right on the border of whether or not it is "safe" according to my OB. There is a good chance I will go into labor a couple weeks early since I am taking progesterone shots and they stop at 36 weeks, but do those weeks really make a difference? I would assume that my OB would have mentioned it if she was concerned, or told me I wasn't a candidate for a VBAC at all. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-after-failure-to-progress#post-1924270 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 12:24:38 +0000 Aimed 1924270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did any of you ladies have a VBAC after failure to progress? With my LO, I had 14 hours of labour and never dilated past 4 and had a c section. My experience was absolutely fine and if we have another, a RCS definitely wouldn't be an issue for me, but I guess I would still like to know my options.<br /> I have had two OB's in the intervening time, and both advised that I wasn't a good candidate for VBAC due to the failure to progress and also, I apparently have a weird shaped pelvis which would also make it harder for have a VBAC. :sad:<br /> So just wondering, if any of you ladies had failure to progress and went on to have a VBAC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/vbac-induction#post-1643190 Sun, 18 May 2014 18:41:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1643190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my OB about this, and ready forget the drugs she mentioned!</p> <p>I'm a VBAC candidate but am still leaning toward a schedule section.</p> <p>Does anyone have a successful VBAC induction story? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac#post-1480932 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 19:30:03 +0000 Aimed 1480932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a vbac, what was the reason for your earlier c section? My body never dilated enough and my pelvis shape is apparently an issue so I had an unexpected c section with LO. My ob feels that I could try for a vbac if we have another but the chances of it working aren't great. So just wondering what the reasons for c sections were if you had a vbac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/information-for-vbac#post-1238794 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:36:35 +0000 shortcake 1238794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am considering a VBAC with this pregnancy (my first was scheduled c-section due to breech). My OB told me I am a good candidate and she supports VBAC in general, but I would like to do some research on my own about the risks and outcomes. Does anyone know of any medical research or trustworthy sources of reliable information for this topic? I keep running into the same mostly anecdotal info. I know others here have written about their experiences and I have read them and find it all very helpful as well. </p> <p>Thank you! </p>
