I had emergency Caesarian during my 1st birth due to some issue on my foetus. 3 years later, I am pregnant. My current foetus has no problem and I was all ready for natural birth when my gynae recently advised me to go for Caesarian saying that risk is that old wound will rupture. My question is how many of you 1st birth caesarian and 2nd birth natural and still ok? HOpe some of you can enlighten me cos' I realy wish to have natural birth. |

Hi Jancy,
I've faced the exactly same situation as you! My 1st birth was done thru emergency C-Section because my cervix refused to dilate further than 4cm! imagine i was in the labour ward for more than 24hrs!!
So i waited for 3 yrs before conceiving again. it was my wish and hope that i could experience normal delivery with my 2nd baby. Yes, there is a risk that the old wound would rupture but at that time, my gynae told me I could try to go for normal delivery since the checkups shows everything is ok... but when the time comes (having labour pains already and at the labour ward), I have to go for emergency C-Section as the same problem occurs! After enduring the labour pains for 6 hours, they decided to opt me for the C-sect, as if i were to wait longer, the old wound would rupture. I refused to hve it at first and requested to wait for another 2 hrs to see if the cervix dilate further... it didn't so I was wheeled to the ops theatre... there goes my dream to have a normal delivery as i was told by my gynae that if i were to be preggy again the next time, i have to go thru C-sect again and it wld be my last pregnancy as it is unsafe for a mummy to have more than 3 C-sects done... 
So i guess in the end, its up to you to decide. But i'm sure that you can do it the natural way. My friend did! She had her 1st birth by C-sect but for her 2nd birth, she managed to do it naturally!
The thing is if emergency C-sect needs to be done, you can decide it later, at the last min during labour when there's really no other choice... that's what i have done... although i was disappointed but i was more than happy when i saw my baby for the 1st time... 
Be positive yah, apologised for the long story...hehehe...you can PM me if you want to chit chat! Good luck! |

Dear mummies
Can anyone share on c-section matters:
1.how far apart after 1st c-section should one have baby # 2 ?
2.Did anyone got pregnant within less than a year after c-section ?
3. Did anyone tried VBCA after the c-section birth ?
4. Is it true that C-section can only do not more than 3 times ?
5. Any risk or complications eg uterus rupture ? |

blisslive, my gyane told me to wait at least 6mths to have baby#2. but different gynae got different advise. some of my fren's gynae say to wait 1year. i got preggy exactly 6mths after a c section. my gyane told me only can have 3 babies if all by c section. |

hi blisslive,
I had just delievered my 2nd baby on 4th June 2009 thru's c-section. And my 1st baby is only 8 months old when i'm pregnant with 2nd baby.
But bear in mind, 2nd c-section might be much painful than the 1st one as they operate from the same place as u have the first one. |

Like Shir and colyn > Am preg with #2 now and I just delivered my gal via c sec in early may. Hope to go natural as I very much like to experience the labour pains at least once in my lifetime. Pray hard that things to go smoothly for this preg.
My gyne said that it's possible to have natural birth if nothing goes wrong. :-) |

Hi mummies,
I am 7 weeks plus preggy with bb#2 now, my 1st boy is 6 mths plus now. My gynae also told me that I most probably have to go thru c section delivery again. (my 1st delivery was emergency c section)I am bit disappointed. But now, I am more worried if the wound will rupture or open or in anyway affected once my tummy gets bigger. |

Hi keroppi,
it is not advisable to get preggy so soon after a c section delivery. Mine was an accident(can even 'strike jackpot' only once on the last day of menses, very unexpected to be so heng since my 1st bb was conceived thru ivf after 4 yrs of ttc), so bo bian. I am 27 weeks plus preggy now, my 1st boy is 11 months old now. So far so gd, and I am alone taking care of my boy throughout this pregnancy, it has been very tiring and busy as my boy is very active and has learnt to walk since 9 mths plus old, but I think I will tahan it thru.
Yes, I think it will be good to listen to your gynae to wait for longer time before gets preggy again. There will also be concern on the arrangement of bb care with 2 bbs whose age gap is very close. I will be lookg after 2 bbs all alone at home after my 2nd bb arrives too. |

Hi keroppi,
thank you!
Ya, it will be good to have 2 kids w close age gap when you have helpers to look after them too, if not, it will be v siong, just like me.
I cant try for natural birth, cos it is risky to do that. My gynae advised me that I have to go thru 2nd c section cos the muscles and flesh ard the previous c section incision part is no longer as flexible as normal skin, hence there is great risk that the area will tear if there is great labour contractions during natural delivery, then I may end up gg thru a failed natural labour and then emergency c section again. So I better go for a scheduled c section delivery, and it has to be in the 38 weeks, not advisable to wait till 39 or 40 weeks cos there will probably be greater labour contractions which may cause the wound to tear anytime, risky lor.
Btw, my gynae is v nice n encouraging to tell me that it is gd to be preggy w 2nd bb when 1st child is ard my son's age, cos still can manage to look after him during the pregnancy. If the 1st kid is 2 to 3 years old, it will be more tiring and busier as the kid is in the most active stage. |
