Vaginal Delivery after a C-Section, is this possible?

Idalia

A vaginal birth is fine prior to having a C-section delivery on the following pregnancies, but what happens otherwise? What if the mum prefers a vaginal delivery after a C-Section? Is that possible?

Abana

Yes, VBAC is possible and it depends on the mom's pregnancy and childbirth histories and how she and her OB comes up to it as the best solution.

Cadelaria

From what I know, yes it's possible.

Fabiola

Indeed this is possible. My friend had a vaginal delivery on her 3rd kid even if she had a c section on the 2nd one

It depends on how long the wound from the C-Section is healed then you could opt for a Vaginal delivery later on. It's scary to have a vaginal delivery if the incision inside hasn't healed yet as a "rupture" might take place when you have your labor. That's what my mom said.

Idalia

Thank you ladies!

Oh, is that so? Well then if a C-Section mum gets pregnant sooner than the 2 to 3 year allowance doctors give prior to having a normal delivery then they should still opt for another C-Section if that's the case. Bloody scary when you said about that "rupture" thing.

Cadelaria

I agree. That's why it is strongly suggested to be transparent and discuss matters like this openly to you OB so you'll know that you're taking the best route.

Adalira

Each manner of delivery has its scary aspects, with or without the surgery. It's better though if everything's done painless.

Gaetana

Yes, it is indeed possible. But not everyone could opt for a vaginal delivery after a C-Section one.

Cadelaria

Yep, it depends on the mom's physical condition. The doctor will be the one to approve or say no for this case.
