[quote=Anonymous]Had a successful VBAC (which doctor referred to as "textbook") but the big-headed baby meanwhile caused a major internal hematoma that then burst.  It was a bad scene all around, and I ended up in the ICU and then bed-ridden for a good long time.  So, of course, had I known that would happen, I definitely would have just done the C.  (My only real interest in not doing another C is that I thought the recovery time would be quicker with a VBAC...in my case, definitely not.)  
I think the doctors would all say that this was unrelated to the VBAC, BUT...because of the VBAC, they insisted on epidural (which I might have done anyway).  With the epidural, I think I just didn't realize that the baby was pushing in the wrong direction, or too long, or whatever it was that caused the problem.  It was also a very busy night in the delivery room, and I think they might have let me sit there too long because I had an epidural so I wasn't really complaining.  Once the epidural was unplugged, I was like "Wow -- that does not feel good at all...."
So, obviously, that's just one story.  [/quote]
