You have had 1 natural birth and a second birth was a c section if you have a third pregnancy what type of birth would it be?

Answer 1

It can be any birth you want! Since Vaginal birth is the safest, hopefully that's what it will be. Find a doctor or midwife that will support you! The risk of uterine rupture is very, very small. There are certain criteria to meet that is important, but any doctor telling you it's too risky does not have your best interest at heart. Surgery is much more high risk than a vaginal birth after cesarean. It is important to have an ultra sound so you can make sure that the placenta has not attached itself over your scar. Also, it is wise to not get pregnant again until the space between your births are 18-24 months. Other than that, if you have a healthy, normal pregnancy, you should be perfectly fine attempting another vaginal birth. Uterine rupture is what most doctors will use to discourage you, but not many people know that anybody who is pregnant is at risk for uterine rupture.... your risk is only slightly elevated after a c-section. I also would refuse any kind of labor inducing drugs... these can also heighten your risk. Check this website out.... it's very informative! http://www.ican-online.org/

This really depends on your doctor. My sister had 1st vaginal 2nd c-section and 3rd & 4th vaginal. the real concern is that your muscles might tear... fairly unlikely if you healed well. It probably matters how much time you have had to heal between the deliveries as well... Great luck to you ;)
