Is a caeserean section worse the second time?

Its been 7 yrs since my last child. I had to have him c section. Im pregnant again and wanna try for a vbac. My doctor said its risky. Should I just plan to have a c section anyway? I wanna ask u moms out there who've had c sections, possibly more than one. Was your second worse or better then the first???

    My aunt had a second c-section because our OB doesn't allow vbacs. Our OB says strictly won't allow a vbac unless it's already happening but if a patient considers it, they need to look for another OB. There's too many health risks to consider like the internal stitches rupturing and it's easier to just do another c-section. (He's been in practice for literally DECADES and has the credibility to decide that 'cause he really is that good and very very experienced)

    My aunt seemed a lot better during the second time because she knew what to expect. Her first ended up being an emergency c-section 'cause my cousin's heart beat was dropping and was stuck in the canal. She seemed misreable after, in so much pain, and looked like she had a hard time simply walking. With her first, she didn't even remember I came to visit her. The second time, she seemed more prepared mentally.. she even had the baby 2 weeks earlier than expected too! She was still in pain after but it looked like she physically was able to do more.

    Sorry, I'm not giving you complete personal experience.. but as a third party's point of view, I noticed the second c-section seemed a lot better for my aunt. I'm really close to her and I've helped with both her babies from basically the day they were born :]

    *edit*

    I forgot to mention, my cousins are 4 years apart so there was plenty of time to heal in case she had decided for a vbac.

With an epidural blockading soreness out of your waist down you must be simply quality.You fairly wont think a lot of some thing. Now if you're having another system performed while equivalent to having tubes tied, the surgical procedure following the supply might be longer.And on this case you may also revel in just a little extra ache in the course of your first day of healing. Whether you've gotten a C-phase on my own, or a further system performed while, the important thing to a painless healing is to stick on best of your soreness treatment within the health center and at dwelling. Do no longer allow time lapse among doses given that in case your soreness meds do put on off it kind of feels to take fairly a while for alleviation of that soreness that creeps upon you. Otherwise take a deep breath, tell your anesthesiologist of any ache or nausea. He can modify the phases being administered and make you extra at ease.There is not fairly some thing you must achieve this don't forget what miracle is taking location and be aware of the beginning of your new youngster!

    Actually, repeat csections are riskier than vbacs. I am pregnant with my second and I'm planning a home birth after csection with a midwife. She is wonderful and totally encourages natural birth. Especially since its been so long since your last child. Go for the vbac, it'll be worth it.
