Since I had a C-Section my 1st child Will I have to when I have me 2nd?

I had a C-section when I had my son and I was just wondering .. When I have more children will I have to have a C-Section again? I had a C-Section because I was having kidney problems and I was induced twice and nothing happened!! Just wondering for future reference .. Was watchign something on TV and it caught my attention. Many people say that because you had a c-section for your first child it is wise to have them for all your future pregnancies? I didnt want to have a C-section and was kinda dissappointed but hey you have to do what you have to do!

Since I had a C-Section my 1st child Will I have to when I have me 2nd?
It used to be that if you had a c-section with one you had to with the rest, but they also cut up the abdomen at the time instead of across a lower section of it the way they do now. So, no, you won't necessarily have to with your next child. When you have a regular delivery after a c-section it's called a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). I have three children, two of which were c-sections (the first and last, my second child was a vaginal birth). It will depend on your health concerns at the time of your next delivery.
Reply:Not necessarily. All obstetricians used to recommend that women who had one c-section of a c-section in all subsequent pregnancies. However, depending on the type of incision used for the c-section, it is now thought that it is safe for a majority of women who have had one c-section to attempt a trial of labor. This should always be performed in a hospital (not at home or in a birth center) and is referred to in the medical literature as a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).
Reply:You can have one naturally.
Reply:i had c sec with my first child and normal delivery with my second


it does depend on your health when you get pregnant again - then you will definatly need to confirm with ur obs consultant
Reply:No, u can have it naturally 2nd time around
Reply:That's not always the case, but 9 times out of 10 the second delivery is by c-section. Honestly though it depends on the circumstances. A lot of c-sections are performed because of the size of a women's pelvic bones....she is not able to deliver naturally. If this is not your situation, then it is possible to deliver naturally unless you have some other health reason that would prevent it. Definitely discuss this possibility with your physician. Honestly only they can tell you for certain. Best of luck on your delivery!
Reply:I'd really talk with your doctor but considering the problems you had at delivery a C-section might be the safest route. After my 1st C-section I tried for natural but still had the same problems so the 2nd and 3rd were C-section.
Reply:It is dependant on how long b/t the pregnancies. I think if they are within 2-3 years, then you will have to have another c-section. But, also, b/c your first c-section wasn't b/c you couldn't give birth vaginally, you should have hope for a v-back! Your dr should be able to tell you from the way you healed if you will have to do it again or not.
Reply:I wouldn't have a vaginal one...it is really up to your doc. Some refuse to no matter what the circumstances b.c you could rupture! I would not want to have vaginal if you have an option, you have already been cut, so let them do it again. My OBGYN will NOT let you have a vaginal birth after C-Section, due to how much CAN go wrong!
Reply:no you can have a vaginal birth after a c-section, but talk to your doctor about the risks.. many women have emergency c-sections and go on to have vaginal births for their other children...good luck
Reply:It depends on the hospitals policies and your insurance. Most don't want the liability of a vbac. I would check around the hospitals in your area to see what the policies are.
Reply:I was under the impression that once you have a C-section with a birth that all future births would be perform through Cesarean section as well. This may only be a myth, but an OB/GYN should be able to answer any questions that you have concerning future deliveries.
Reply:A really huge study was completed recently in the UK that found that VBAC was only slightly more hazardous than a c-section. However, I haven't seen that study, so I can't tell you if they are only looking at catastrophic events or serious injury. For instance, 1 in 10 women get an infection from a c-section. Some very serious with major health problems for years. On the other side, some of the negative things found in VBAC are already known to be a problem such as labor augmentation and induction.





If you want a VBAC, you need to first find a hospital that does VBAC. Then ask the nurses which of the doctors there regularly do VBACs. Then, you will know that you are getting a real recommendation based on your medical history rather than one based on politics and convenience.





Keep in mind that now that you have had a c-section, you can't either be induced nor receive labor augmentation. Therefore, if you have a repeat kidney problem, c-section is your best option.
Reply:Its something you will have to discuss with your doctor. There are many factors such as the reason you couldn't deliver naturally the first time, and then your scar tissue. I had a c-section with baby #1, and for the next one I had to sign a paper in order to try natural. They said with every c-section your risk of rupturing your uterus in labor goes up. So, its just something your Dr will have to discuss with you, and let you in on all the risks. They let me try with #2, but I had another c-section.
Reply:yup
Reply:Your chances are low to have it natural.. I have friend who had a c-section her first time, and b/c she had that her 2nd was also c-section. She is pregnant again and they told her she will have a c-section again b/c she has had them before.
Reply:Its not necissarily true, i know that once you have a C section it is the best thing to have the rest of your children done the same way, but it is possible to have a vaginal birth after a c section, a friend of mine just had her 2nd child that way. It just depends on the complications from the first one. the best person to ask is your doctor, it really does differ from person to person.
Reply:No u can have natural birth the 2nd time around. My friend had a c-section the first time and natural with the 2nd and she was fine. As long as you dont have any problems like the first time you should be fine-good luck!
Reply:you can have what is called a vback ask your doc about it. it mean natural child birth after c section.
Reply:well, i asked my OB/GYN about this, after having my first child, and he told me "if we lived in a bigger city,with better facilities, I would say, yes." maybe it is risky to do it.
Reply:i had a c-section and was told by my doc that i would have to have another c-section if there were to be future pregnancies. some people have been able to process a vg birth after a c-section but good luck in finding a doc who will do this.
Reply:No not unless it's complications with the 2nd pregnancy.
Reply:I understand completely about that c-section. "Once a c-section always a c-section" i have heard however a doula or midwife may work with you in getting a Vbac( Vaginal birth after cesarean) ..My c-section was not needed -- told me my baby was breach and she was not ! had a c-section at a young 23 very disappointed after words in having to have the c-section done. For next child I will definitely seek a midwife or Douala.
Reply:Well, it is recommended because the uterus is weak where it was cut into and has a chance of ruptureing when delivering vaginally the next time around. Then you will end up with a torn uterus and another c-section. I'm not saying that this will happen, or it happens every time, I'm just saying that the chances are higher. I would talk with your Dr. and the 2 of you do what is right for you.
Reply:well with my mother in law she had all 3 children by C-Section..she told me she had too have all 3 boys that way because that's what was best for her body...with each and every boy she had.. she couldn't dilate.so I'm guessing if you have the same problems during the delivery then..yes
