[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most VBAC recoveries are much better than CS recoveries, particularly if your labored before your CS. Of course there are exceptions. I loved my VBAC and am about to have another. But, I was emotionally wounded by my CS so I had a lot invested in the VBAC. If it hadn't happened, I think it would have been a very bad scene for my mental health. Doesn't mean it wasn't worth the shot, but it was a scary risk to take. [/quote]

Is this true for scheduled Cs?  I had a wonderful scheduled C recovery for breech baby and am worried about it being worse after VBAC![/quote]

The problem is no one knows.  You could have a lovely, fast delivery with minimal tearing, etc and be pretty much back to yourself within a week or two (this is most of my friends' experience).  Or, you could have a long painful labor and third (or fourth) degree tears, shoulder dystocia, etc. For most women, it's worth trying because you might end up in group #1, but for some the risk of a difficult vaginal delivery may be outweighed by a relatively routine scheduled c/s.  Only your doc can really advise you and depends on how much you want the vbac.[/quote]
