Vaginal birth is not always what its cracked up to be. It can be very long and painful and can result in some interventions that you don't expect.. My experience with it has put me off having another child as I just don't think I could put myself through it again. Can't imagine having to push out two bubs!!!!
I have had 3 vaginal births, so I know what Im in for and a cs is way worse. My first cs was due to an impatient doc, the 2nd my bub presented facially and the 3rd bub would not come down after a week of labor. Its not that I want to go against my docs advice, but these days they air on the side of caution because they dont want to be sued, and that is in their best interest not mine. Risks rise drastically for me to have another cs. Having a vbac under favorable circumstances would be much safer for me and bub. Im not completely against having another cs, if I REALLY needed one. If the 1st bubs head is down I will be going for a vbac for sure. I just needed to make sure that they couldnt refuse me care.
