Need some advice on Vbac.
This is my 2nd pregnancy (I am at week 32) and my 1st child is 18mths this month.
My 1st birth was “overdue” (by 5 days only) and I did not have signs of labour. My Obstet recommend me to try inducation. After 14 hours, my cervix only opened 3 cm and my 1st bb heart beat dropped thus I went to for c-sect.
This time round, I heard of Vbac and wanted to try. My reasons for trying is (1) faster healing but I am worried that I may be that 1% of Vbac mothers who may experience uterine rupture which may lead to my bb’s death or permanent brain damage.
Actually I went for a 2nd opinion with a Pro-natural doctor. He highlighted to me that he doesn’t encourage inducation because, naturally, I am not ready for birth, so why induce. He also mentioned that this 2nd bb will be overdue too. He supported the fact to let nature take its cause but he brought to my awareness of the possible risk. His words and his experience made me think twice.
My previous Obstet, which I am still visiting him, I know he will let me try Vbac but I got a strong feeling, he will end up cutting me (which I don’t like… its like going for an operation unnecessary).
I know all delivery carry risk but trying Vbac will put my baby at risk more as compared to c-section. Should I change to the pro-natural doctor or remain with this and leave it to fate?
