QuestionHi
I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our fourth child. I would really appreciate any advise you could offer. i have had 3 previous sections, first was failure to progress after being induced 16 years ago, second elective, third breach.
Apart from the second pregnancy I have always wanted/hoped for "normal delivery". I am visiting the consultant in the next 2 weeks to discuss the birth and they are already trying to convince me to have another section.
Do you think it is any more dangerous the more sections you have?
I believe they are also requiring me to sign a waiver regarding MRSA should i proceed with the section. I would really appreciate any facts/figures to base my decision.
ps . i am UK based
Regards
Emma
AnswerCheerio Emma,
actually each clinic and ob have their own guidlines as to VBAC, here our ob's will allow you to do VBAC only if there were no real problems with you or the babies previously to consider being high risk. With your failure to progress and breach delivery you would be considered moderate risk for that to reoccur, however, that is not to say it will as each pregnancy is different. Another problem to consider with VBAC is the area that once was cut and sutured, could rupture from the contractions. That is the mail reason other that the others I have given you that we don't really like VBAC. Ponder and speak with your doctors there and good luck, if you should do the VBAC, let me know how it went.
