My Journey to VBA2C (VBAC)

[aliciamatthiesen]

You are an inspiration to me! I have had 2 cesareans. One emergency and the other elective. I want to try a VBA2C so bad.

[kitefamily2009]

Just amazing! I too just had my second c-section and I can't help but wonder what if?? Where in Australia did you get an OB to support you for a vba2c? I didn't even think that was possible here!

@kitefamily2009 My OB was in the outerlying southern suburbs of Melbourne. There are plenty of women in Australia who have pushed for their chance to VBA2C. Try some of the forums like essential baby or belly belly. There are plenty of birth stories to read and women who are willing to share info. You may even find women in your area that have VBA2Ced and know of supportive hospitals and OBs. Anything is possible if you firmly want it and believe you can do it!!

This made me cry, like really cry. I want to experience a vaginal birth so badly! I have had 2 c/s. First was due to my daughter being in a face up position and unsuccessful pushing for 2 hrs (after a 21hr labor). My second, I wanted to try for VBAC, but due to FMLA, I ran out of time and had to schedule a c-section at 39 weeks. I know having a vaginal delivery would change me in such a positive way, it just means so much to me to be able to have that!

How big the chance is for VBA2C when the uterus was already has stitched two times operation of Cs?

[wademyhusband]

THis is amazing i admit i dont have enough knowledge to this.I dont know why i felt so overjoyed,hapy and inspired to this video,I had my 1rst CS last March 25,2008,big baby,they thought it was twin,coz my tummy is so big,and plus two hearts beating.May 6,2009 i gve birth to a 6 mos baby after 6 days it was dead,both were boy,now i know i have all the capacity to give birth normally,i consult an OB gyne hre in my area & i almost lost HOPE when she told me that when u r CS 2 times itll b CS 4ever

[wademyhusband]

I had 2 CS already and i really wanna go through a normal birth is my life is in danger to that?

@wademyhusband Short answer - no!! You have more risk of complications with another CS than you have of your uterus rupturing!! Do a bit of research and read the book Silent Knife. Education and knowledge are the keys to a successful VBAC.

I LOVED your movie.. Thank you! My hope for a vba2c is closer now!

[hmoobhawj1984]

Can you still have a good chance for vba2c when your uterus almost rupture from c-section and have too many scar tissue, and only one suture?

[byza0]

@hmoobhawj1984 My advice would be to get in touch with an independant midwife in your area and get a copy of your hospital records, then have her go through them with you. An IM would be able to give you a good indication of your chances of VBA2C.

@hmoobhawj1984 I have a lot of scar tissue and learned online you can do mayan massage(abdominal) to break up the adhesions, and I had THREE c/s and will be atemting vba3c with my next baby (not pregnant yet,though)

[Tat2828]

How wonderful! I am planning a Vbac with an idependant midwife next pregnancy. Very excited.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that it can be done. I hope to have a VBA2C this fall. Congratulations.

[LadyD1979]

very inspiring and beaultiful baby

[hmoobhawj1984]

Congrats to you. I have 2 c-section and I always wanted a natural birth. I tried for a VBAC, but it failed because I did not have any knowledge about labor, so I never got the chance to have a natural birth. After seeing your video, I think it is possible. Thank you very for sharing your VBA2Cs. You still give me hope.

@hmoobhawj1984

I have had three c-sectios myself,and I know you can still vbac after 3 or 4 c-sections, so don't give up !

Huge congradulations, Watching this brought tears to my eyes !

The first part sounded familuar, Breech baby, Elective caesarean - But thankfully with my second pregnancy I read everything I could and refused to be in hospital point blank (Purelly because of the way they treated me, I've still got PTSD) anyway, I've had 2 home VBAC's, now pregnant with twins I plan another home VBAC!

Congradulations again, I love to hear of a good VBAC story x

[amyscopel]

so inspiring!  thank you so much!!!! and congrats on your vba2c!
