Re: 2nd pregnancy - ? VBACFrom: Christopher (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 24 Apr 1999 10:07:43 -0400
>I had a C/S 12/14/98 due to Breech presentation. No problems or >complications. The baby was at full term and I had a great pregnancy!! >I just found out we are pregnant again and estimated due date will be >12/11/99 - only one year between deliveries! >My OB told me that he woldn't recommend a VBAC due to the chance of >uterine rupture. He told me that neither the size of the baby or the >closeness of the pregnancies would increase a chance of rupture. >So......why not a VBAC???? >I don't want to change OB's but is he just out of touch? Would he simply >like to take the easy way out and do a second C/S?? >I've been in the medical field for 6 years and have never heard an OB >try to talk a pt. out of a VBAC if they are a candidate. >Any advice on how to handle this situation? I've researched all I can >and have it all printed - should I give it to him?? Am I crazy or should >I just tell him I want to attempt a trial of labor with CLOSE >monitoring???? Any advice would be great help!!! >Thanks- Nikki If this is the whole story, I see no reason for you not to at least attempt a VBAC, what kind of scar do you have? If it is a vertical scar that may be the reson. My children were 16 months apart and I had a successful VBAC and then went on to have two more VBAC's after that. Talk to him again, you might want to start looking for a new OB.
