What is better a vaginal birth or c section after three c sections?

Yes. It's called VBAC - vaginal birth after Caesarian. It used to be thought that it was unsafe to do so, but recently the VBAC has become popular and with work and care, an acceptable practice. Of course, your doctor will have insight into your specific case; it depends on what the conditions of your other c-sections were as to whether they will recommend a vaginal birth for you.


Had two sections back to back want to have a vaginal birth?

Whether you can have a vaginal birth depends on the reason for the C-sections. if it was for a reason that may be specific to each pregnancy, breech presentation or placenta previa for example, then you may be able to have a vaginal birth. If however they were because you have a small pelvis and/or have big babies or some other reason that makes a vaginal birth dangerous, it is probably safer to have another C-section. I did see a documentary about a woman whio had had FOUR c-sections and was determined to not only have a vaginal birth but a water birth at home. With a very supportive midwife and an Ob/Gyn on call she achieved her goal after an 18 hour labor. she was in tears, her partner was in tears, her midwife was in tears, and of course I was in tears. Good Lucl and have a healthy baby whichever way you deliver in the end.


Why do women who have had a c section always have to have c sections?

Not always, there are women who tries to have a vaginal birth after their first C-section but that is also up to the doctor. When having a c-section there will be a scar and that scar can burst during labor and with every c-section the scar gets thicker and more vulnerable. That is why they say you always have to stick to c-sections.

Where can you find a doctor that will deliver vaginal birth after 2 c sections?

There are doctors that will do this, so just call the office and ask if the doctor has done this before or if he/she would consider it. Sometimes it is a matter of the mother being more physically prepared for the vaginal birth. Sometimes there are reasons for the C-section that are not because of the mother, but rather the baby, or that specific pregnancy, however, there are certain things that are specific to the mother that require a C-section every pregnancy, so make sure you really understand the reason you had to have the C-sections before. Good luck.


If your first labor was by c-section will the others be c-sections?

Doctors have always stated that once you have one c-section you should always give birth using this method. However a study has found that there is only a 1 percent risk if you choose to go vaginal.


Is a Caesarean section C-section easier than giving birth naturally?

If by "natural birth" you mean vaginal birth (as opposed to drug free vaginal birth) then the recovery from a Cesarean is much longer and more painful. With an epidural the labor and birthing themselves are not painful in both cases.


Why do vaginal birth babies have coneheads and c-section babies do not?

Because in c-section the baby did not pass by the birth canal or pelvic bone.


Can you request the dr perform a c-section birth?

C-sections can be requested, but they are medically unnecessary


Why has the cesarean section rate increased?

Elective C-sections, the unwillingness of doctors to perform vaginal births on women who have previously had c-sections, and a rise in STD's among other things. See source for a much more in-depth answer.


Can you deliver after 3 c sections?

The answer is yes but most midwives/doctors will advise against it in case your c-section scar ruptures. If you want a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) then your doctors will advise you of the possible dangers. I think the risk of rupturing a scar is minimal but most don't like to take the chance. I have known women who have gone on to have VBAC.
