Hi Ellen28

i had the same problem as you with my first preg my waters broke 8 weeks early and my daughter became distressed so had to have an em c/section i am  preg again with baby num 2 im due in november was told i could have an natural birh witch im hoping for there is a risk that the scar could reopen during the birth but all is looking good for me so far my mum had the same problem she had em c/section with twins and was able to go natural again i hope this helped

In the end, due to my waters all breaking and ds becoming distressed and no labour starting within 16 hrs. ds2 was delivered by planned section on his EDD. Good luck.

oh my god i cant believe they gave you a section that fast my babys heart rate was dropping to 40 with every contraction then going back up and they left me in labour for 23 hours and made me ush for 2 hours before giving me a section

my reason for the c sec was due to the fact the hospital didnt belive i was in labour and was told to stop being silly and go see my gp as the pains i was having where probably down to a water infection,

After having pains for 14 hours every 2 mins i went ahead to the antnatal day unit who confirmed i was in labour but by this time my ds was under so much stress that his heart rate was dropping to below 50 after every contraction. i was told unless they delivered him there and then i would loose him,

i also had to go under for the op as they couldnt get the spinal block in my back

i would love a natural birth as i feel i was robbed of the whole experiance 1st time round.

thank you all so much for taking the time to reply you have really answered my question

thanks again

Ellen

Forgot to say that they will monitor you more closely if you decide to go for a natural birth to make sure that your scar is OK.  I don't think the time between children will be a problem for you - there was just short of 2 years between my 2

I think it depends on the reason for the emergency c section. I have emergency section with dd as I did not progress past 9cm (after being in labour all day).  I now have a 7 week old son who was born naturally after a 5 hour labour.  I was offered an elective section but wanted to try for a natural birth and am so glad I did.  I was also told that if I was induced my chances of a section were greatly increased - however I was induced and had a VBAC.

Hope everything goes well for you - am sure it will as no 2 births are the same!

if u have only had 1 previous c section u should be able to give birth naturally, altho they will want u to go straight in when it starts so they can monitor baby as there is a small risk to scar. they r unlikely to let u use a water bath as need to monitor u.

hope it all goes the way u want, i had prev c section and wanted to give birth myself but waters went at 33wks so kept in hosp with complications until they decided on c section at 36 weeks. now ill never be able to give birth naturally. but its wot was best for baby which is most important.   good luck

Hi there,

 not sure of the answer but would imagine that you would be encouraged to try for a vbac anyway depending on what complications you had .. I found this website, and have also emailed and had replies which were helpful (been in pain since section and was wondering about the causes) www.caesarean.org.uk hth

Congratulations on your pg!!

i have just found that im 8 wks pregnant with baby number 2

with my first i ended up with an emergancy c sec, i wont go into detail but to cut a long story short he was very disstressed and we almost lost him.

my son is just coming upto a year. I was wanting to know if after the birth i had with my son would a natural birth be out of the question? or would i be able to a least try to deliver number 2 myself? or would i not have an option and have to have an elective??

I tried to talk to my doc who told me to ask my mw, only thing is not had my booking in appointment yet and have been told due to a shortage of mw in my town it looks like i could be waiting to see my mw until im atleast 20 weeks,

no one i seem to speak to can shine some light on the subject.

Just wondered if any one here as any pearls of wisdom for me or if any one has been thru a natural birth after an emergancy c sec,

 

there will be 18 months between my 2 children when number 2 comes along would this make a difference as to if im able to go natural or not?

 

please help
