Natural Birth After Two C-Sections: What to Expect
QuestionI am 25 yrs old I have 2 children 2 and 4. I don't think I am pregnant right now although I did miss my last period which was supposed to be about the beginning of Sept. But I do want a child or more in the future. I am very upset about having 2 previous c-sections and I blame my first doctor. I just wanted to know if I can have a natural birth after 2 c-sections? I would really like to have my next child(ren) the way I am supposed to.
AnswerMost obstetricians will not allow you to have a VBAC after two or more cesarean sections. The reason is that there is a higher risk of rupture of the uterus at the site of the previous scar. The risk is 1% if you only had one cesarean, but it increases if you had two. It is safer to have a repeat cesarean section.
