Labour was only 12 hours and I only made it to 4cm. Mine will also be viewed as a first labour :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2394275 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:58:47 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2394275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: darn - even though I labored for 36 hours before my c-section, I never got past 4 cm (failed induction). it sounds like if my OB thinks I'm a candidate to try for a VBAC, it will be viewed as a slower/harder 1st labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2394251 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:29:49 +0000 bloved 2394251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: @plantains: thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2394232 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:14:01 +0000 plantains 2394232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: I went into labour the day before my scheduled repeat c-section. They have me the option to have either the section or a trial of labour. I chose the section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2394054 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 17:04:45 +0000 Rockies11 2394054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: sorry - to clarify! My baby was breach which is why we had the planned c-section. If you are a vaginal birth candidate and you go into labour you can have the planned c-section then or have a VBAC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2393981 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:19:58 +0000 bloved 2393981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So wait, if you have a planned c-section and go into labor, they will do the c-section right away versus letting you labor? I am in the same situation and I assumed if I went into labor early, I would just have the baby vaginally....I'm sorry, I am sick and processing slowly today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2393889 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:32:26 +0000 Rockies11 2393889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes re: c-section. My water broke and they did it that night. </p> <p>With my VBAC, I had a first labour type experience - many, many hours (days) in labour, 3+ hours of pushing. With my first I didn't progress much though - I didn't have any contractions in the 12 or so hours between water break and c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2393846 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:13:36 +0000 Mamaof2 2393846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are planning a scheduled repeat c section and go into labor before, they just do it right away, right?</p> <p>--yep that's what I was told </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2393841 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:12:06 +0000 Autumnmama79 2393841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning for a vbac and was told that if you made it to 6cm with your first before the section, then your second will be considered your 'second labour' and you can expect it to be potentially faster, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/random-birth-after-c-section-questions#post-2393826 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:02:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2393826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just generally curious about this. </p> <p>If you are planning a scheduled repeat c section and go into labor before, they just do it right away, right?</p> <p>If you try for a VBAC, is your second delivery supposed to be faster, as it is for a second vaginal birth? I feel like it would depend on whether you labored a long time with the first? </p> <p>I've just been wondering about those for a while. Curious what people have heard. </p>
