[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My friend and her baby almost died when her uterine scar ruptured during labor with her second child.[/b] She for sure regrets it. Horrible experience for her. Not worth the risk, IMO, and I refused to try despite a VERY pushy OB who never stopped bugging me to attempt trial of labor. I s--t you not, she was still bugging me when I was in the OR with the anesthesiologist about to give me the epidural. Crazy. Glad I skipped it; DC2 was BIG with a 91st %ile head![/quote]

I say this not to dissuade OP from having a repeat c-section if that's what she and her doctor think is best since this doesn't really speak to her question, but statistically more goes mortally wrong during repeat c-sections. And I know a friend of a friend whose uterus ruptured - no previous uterine surgery - and who did lose her baby.[/quote]

Your statement is wrong.  More goes fatally wrong for babies in vbacs.  More less serious complications with sections overall.  However, your particular factors make make vbac less risky for you individually (or may make csection less risky for you individually).  So it's best to discuss it with your doctor who will know your relevant factors (duration between pregnancies, reason for first csection, obesity or other health issues, etc.).  [/quote]
