also curious about VBACFrom: Iris (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 21 Jul 1998 17:58:16 -0500 (CDT)
I've been reading the VBAC responses with great interest, as I have a similar question. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant with second child. My first was a C-section delivery after 12-hr labor induced by Pitocin, 10 days past due date, failure to progress, cervix wouldn't dilate past 4 cm., baby was posterior and wouldn't turn. When fetal distress was increasing, we opted for the C/S and delivered a healthy 8 lb baby. Since then, I've read that this scenario is common for Pitocin-induced labors. So I wonder if with my current pregnancy I should try for a VBAC, esp. if labor starts on its own this time? I'd like to avoid the long, difficult recovery from a C/S, if possible. However, my OB during the first pregnancy told me that my pelvic area was "flatter" than normal and that she didn't know if a baby, especially a large one, would even fit through. I'm with a different OB for this pregnancy but she hasn't done a pelvic yet so I don't know her opinion on this. Can any of the dr's give me more info on this, and how it affects my delivery options? Should an attempt at VBAC depend on the size of this baby, or should I just plan on another C/S? Many thanks, Iris
