How to Have a Successful VBAC: Part 2 - What you Can & Can't Control | Sarah Lavonne

[@lisalowery5911]

I had a successful vbac on January 24th and it was the BEST decision and experience EVER!!! My doctor induced me at 39weeks. I had an epidural and pushed for 20mins tops! I was told I had a low chance for a successful vbac by my doctor but she still supported my decision to try for a vbac. We all had a celebration once our sweet baby girl Malia arrived! 💕 YOU CAN DO IT!!! 👣

[@kamilhickley2004]

Lisa Lowery thank you for the motivation!!! I calculated my chances of a VBAC just for fun and I had an 89.9% I’m very optimistic about pushing my little one out... Thanks again for sharing your experience 😃

Really

[@XMzfr3ak]

I just had a successful vba2c 2 weeks ago.. I switched doctors at 37 weeks and it was the best decision I’ve made! Pushed less than 15 min and my baby boy was placed on me💙💙 it really depends on your provider if they are vbac supportive or vbac tolerant and Sarah is right advocate for yourself and get informed for successful vbac. The calculator is not accurate I was told less than 38% for successful vbac.. I didn’t listen to that and had no complications! Praise god

How was your unmedicated VBAC? I'm hoping for a successful VBAC but I'm not a candidate for an epidural, so I have to do it with no meds.

[@mandit5555]

I hope I can have a VBAC my next time around. I really want to do it the natural way. My doctor told me I HAD to have a scheduled c section because I was “cheating on my diet” ( even though my blood sugar levels were perfect and my dietician said I have a excellent diet) the baby was going to b well over 12 lbs and wouldn’t fit. Turns out when he came out he was a tiny perfect 7lbs and was swimming in his newborn clothes.

[@sarahlavonne]

I'm sorry momma!! Keep advocating for yourself! xoxox

Omg the same thing happened to me. My doctor also told me my baby would be "big" (ended up almost 8lbs). Afterwards I just started to think he just told me that just to do the c-section cuz it was convenient for HIM. Next pregnancy, looking for another doctor who supports VBAC.

My first pregnancy I got induced at 39weeks by my doctor who was going to be out of town on my due date. I was very naive and didn’t have anyone telling me otherwise. I wasn’t dilating at all, my daughter went into distress and was breech. I believe she wasn’t ready. I ended up having a C-section. Very traumatic and dreaded the idea of getting pregnant again. I’m now pregnant and due in September 2022 and my new doctor said I’m a candidate for a Vbac and couldn’t be more excited and happy/nervous. I really hope it’s successful and smooth.

[@sarahantonietti4867]

I am due today with my 2nd. I am hoping for a vbac. The closer and closer I get to delivering, the more anxious I get. The more I doubt myself. One thing I had in my mind was that, if I had the same issues with this delivery as with the first (the baby not dropping), I'd ask for a c-section, to avoid an emergency situation. Your video really helped me want to push past that point. I even shared some of your tips with my husband and I could see they made him feel a lot better as well. Thanks so much for this and hopefully this delivery goes well!

My vbac calculator result is 40%. A vbac at home has an 80% success rate across the board. The biggest factor is your providers mindset. I'll be having my vbac at home in December with an awesome midwife who supports the hormonal blueprint and is very hands off. 👏👏👏 I will not be having any cervical checks unless I ask for one, which I most definitely will not do😁

My chances of success with the calculator are 81% but they would be even higher if I've had a previous vaginal delivery (my c-section was my only delivery and was not medically indicated--twins).

The most horrible thing about my son’s birth (2019) was the constant re-traumatization caused by the horrible nurses! Yes, I said it. Because only a horrible person would find it in any way appropriate to come into the room of a woman in que for a c-section and demand to know about her history of IVF and miscarriages, when they could just look at her well documented chart instead.

I wasn’t scared my first one i was dilating super. Fast soon i got the epidural i slowed down

[@juliannecolangelo4644]

Sarah, this was so helpful for me. I had a c-section almost 11 months ago and have been trying to do as much research as I can on VBAC! I dilated to a 6 after going into labor naturally at home and stayed there for over 12 hours once in the hospital😬, in the mean time I was given two epidurals which both did not work at all (having intense back labor). I ended up having a 9lb 5 oz baby, her being delivered only 2 days late via emergency csection. My question is, would it be possible for me to attempt a vbac at a birthing center without pain medication (because the epidural didn’t even work so, what’s the point)? Also, are there certain guidelines for a vbac when baby is measuring large for gestational age? Thank you for all of your content, I am so encouraged by you and wish you could be my doula 💁🏻‍♀️

[@anakarenbeltran]

25 weeks pregnant and my OB keeps pushing a csection since first baby born Aug 2018 was a csection since I never dilated. Have my next app in about 3 weeks and I will keep asking him about a VBAC. I really want a VBAC and advocating for myself during COVID (because my husband is not able to be at my appointments) is hard! Your videos gave me strength to keep asking OB. I trust my body and I trust my baby! If OB says no I will search for an OB that is comfortable with a VBAC.

V-bac depends on the previous first c-section stitches?

[@GlitterbillySav]

I’m a little nervous about the process. I was sure I wasn’t the proper candidate for VBAC. I’m obese and I’ve had two previous c sections. I’m 30. And the dr who performed the second c section has told me he’s okay with trying a VBAC this time. I haven’t gained a lot this pregnancy, not that I could afford to, and I’ve been told it’s ‘all baby’. He’s also larger and the dr was worried about gestational diabetes but I passed the glucose 1 hr. Toward the end of the 3rd trimester now and he says if I go into labor naturally and can progress to 5 on my own then we will try to push, and if not he will take the baby mid 39 weeks. I’ve gone back and forth for a few reasons. I have a 1 year old I have to chase after along with my oldest who is 8, and I’m getting her back and forth to school and running the house. I can’t really afford to be out of commission and if I have the c section I won’t be able to lift my heavy son for 7 weeks (the 1 year old). If I don’t have a c section, I have to come back 6 weeks later to get tubes tied like I’m hoping to do, and I really can’t afford to take time off a second time for an additional procedure when I have all these babies to care for. If im being honest it probably won’t happen if we can’t get it done all at once. I don’t know what my stance is. It’s just a complicated situation

28 weeks here and have been prepping for VBAC. My csection was done because I pushed for 4 hours and baby did not descend. The doctor says that my body just isnt made for delivery. I'm heading for a second opinion but my origional doctor says that he put in my charts he strongly suggests I do not not have a VBAC. Due to the fact that it will probably end in another section. And I do love my doctor and appreciate his professional opinion, I just was super uneducated for my first birth, and just scared the whole time.

Thank you for presenting all this information in such an encouraging way! My firstborn is 6 months old right now, and I’m about 8 weeks along with my second. My son was an unplanned c-section. I’m hoping for a VBAC with this baby but am worried about the short amount of time between giving birth and conceiving. The main concern is the integrity and healing progress of my incision site. Do you have any more info on that? The 18 months suggestion is always put out there first but most literature I find on the subject suggests the majority of healing is done in the weeks right after. I would appreciate any articles or videos you could point me towards!

[@lisasimpson2415]

I am wondering if this information applies to myomectomy. I would like to get pregnant and try for a vaginal birth, but I am not able to find information on vaginal delivery after myomectomy. All I see is woman getting c sections after a myomectomy. Any advice in this area? Great videos by the way!

[@shamimashimu9273]

When can I get pregnant after c section delivery? I mean how many years should I wait for vbac?

[@albatraozgirl]

They recommend waiting 18months to heal first

I'm setting up to give birth at a hospital that doesn't allow support people, nobody, not even doulas. Is it still worth it to have a doula, even if they can't go into the hospital? Also, I want to stay at home at long as possible, would that put the doula at risk for being in a situation they are uncomfortable with?

[@acgoh2146]

I wish you could be my doula for my next baby! I had an emergency csection (fetal distress) last summer with our first baby (girl) and I have been super sad/ traumatized about my labor experience because of it. I labored for 34 hours and pushed for 1 hour and it all ended in a csection. I am really wanting to do a VBAC but my doctors (who I loved) absolutely don’t do it as their policy. Im debating whether or not to go for a VBAC which is unknown, or just doing a scheduled csection with the doctors I know and trust. I feel confident though that I could deliver vaginally if given the chance since I was so close in my first labor!! Such a tough choice.

I am so confused with my health care provider, she is saying I cant have induction. And she is giving me a 2 hours labour otherwise I'll be on ceasarean again. Looking forward to have a Vbac this october 2020.

[@Akmong1988]

Why is she saying you can't have induction? My friend was induced for 3rd baby (VBAC) after she had 2 c-sections and she delivered 4 hours later.

[@Jaaaaaaaaayyyyyy7]

How do you find a doula???

[@erikaahello0880]

Thank you so much for this video ! My question Is the time between my previous C section will it affect me to having a successful vbac? I have a due date of 02/28 and my daughter was born last year 11/19 via C-section

[@samanthap3751]

Honest answer ... do nurses or drs get irritated when someone comes in with a doula or midwife ?

[@schylergalart9564]

Are there any exercises that someone can do the increase their chance of a successful VBAC? I had an emergency c-section 4 years ago and am currently pregnant again and am wanting a VBAC so badly but don't know what I'm getting into!

[@JenniferVictorious]

Look up vbac exercises or pregnancy exercises. Also, go to a chiropractor regularly. Insurance usually covers it.

[@rachelschrepel22]

I am pursuing a VBAC....with our current times of COVID...doulas are not allowed for L&D. Is it still a good idea to hire a doula or birth coach for prenatal and mental support before I go into labor?

[@melissabowen7611]

I read in a previous comment like this that virtual doulas could be an option. I’m in a similar predicament trying to teach my husband everything I will need from Him

[@brittbrat1619]

Is there anything different a plus size person, like myself, needs to do to have a successful VBAC? And why is it harder for a plus size person to have a vaginal birth?

[@Caffeinecrimeandcookies]

Any updates

[@heatherstanton3245]

I’m hoping for a VBAC but I’m starting to get discouraged. My first baby was born 8 years ago via C section at 29 weeks. Today I am 39 weeks and haven’t dilated or thinned at all. Haven’t had any contractions. And my doctor mentioned repeat c section at my appointment yesterday even though he’s the one that told me I would be a great VBAC candidate and got my hopes up. 😔

[@hotgurl17]

How did it go ?

[@heatherstanton3245]

@@hotgurl17 I ended up going overdue by two weeks. My doctor did a Foley balloon and a low-dose pitocin induction. I was in labor for six hours and had a successful VBAC!

My scar thickness is 3mm wht shld i do????

[@emmajane4452]

I just didnt dilate with my first well I wasnt dilating fast enough and I was having to fight the fact my body was trying to push on it's own, I had multiple types of pain relief nothing worked and I knew I wasnt going to get anywhere because I'd been at it that long so I said I want a c section but I want putting under I cant be awake for that it was already traumatic enough and the stupid anethnatisst said to me I'm not prepared todo that because I dont want you comin to me complaining your baby is on a ventilator, traumatic doesnt begin to cover just that let alone the rest that went on while I was in labour and after the fact not being able to look after my own baby and they didnt give a damn so he went all night without a feed and they wanted to leave him in a dirty nappy for 4 hours I refused to stay any longer and hobbled off the ward because they said if I didnt walk out I wasnt leaving, endedup unable to walk for over a week after because of the pain 😑, wish I'd just stuck with what I wanted and stayed at home, hate hospitals as it is and knew it would all go to hell and I'd say I wasnt far wrong, just hope I dont endup with another c section with the next one 🤞

Hi sarah....i need help and info....my sister had c.section for first child 4 years back...dr had reason that baby is very up high and water broken...she told its 100 percent c.section....now after 4 years she is again pregnant but now this is end of 8th month.her amniotic fluid is leaking lttle bit....she is 42 years old....what is your suggestion is vbac is good suggestion for her....??.plz guide us ...she is given expected date 4th july 2019...what your knowledge expirience says

[@sarahlavonne]

Honestly this sounds complex and I'm not your doctor... In general the water breaking isn't a reason not to be able to have a Vbac, but with her leaking fluid and preterm she needs to go to the hospital to be monitored, in general as long as her doc is good with it she could Vbac and they need to watch for signs of complications... Her age doesn't matter... But again, if her fluids is leaking she should go in and ask what the risks are to a Vbac and if there are any signs of complications and how the baby is doing. So much love it's going to be ok... She's so lucky to have you 💖
