Hi Jenny, thanks for that.

I keep getting told diffferent story when i ask about A VBAC. Some docs say its perfectly safe and fine as long as the baby and me have had no complications during the pregnancy.

Others have said, no its bettter to have an elective ceaser as there are major risks involved considering i had already had a ceaser.

So, i am so confused right now and am not sure which way to go. I have an appointment tommorrow morning and i will ask them again.

Thanks again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

The studies out there show it has about the same risks to mom and baby as a repeat c/s though of course you won't have to recover from major surgery! But the thing here in our litigious society is that doctors don't get sued for the c/s they DO perform, they get sued for the c/s they don't perform. So their malpractice insurance companies have dictated that in order to reduce their risk of getting sued, they should not offer VBACs anymore (or they may face a much higher premium). Banning VBACs isn't about safety, it is about covering their own butts. There are only a few doctors here in my town that will attend them. My own OB said he has no problem with VBACs and has done plenty in the past but his partners won't back them up so he can't offer them to his patients. Luckily none of our hospitals in town have banned them yet but plenty around the country have.

There are things to keep in mind when having a VBAC - no inductions, especially no prostaglandins. They can increase the risk of rupture. Pitocin can increase the risk of rupture too but not the degree that prostaglandins can. I know several people that have had successful VBACs, all with nothing but good things to say about the experience.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you and your family no matter which way you decide to go <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
