[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'd regret it if you ruptured or had a horrible shoulder dystocia or were ripped from stem to stern with forceps.

Unfortunately, you can't know any of this in advance.  How badly do you want vaginal birth?

I'd never attempt a VBAC without an OB and continuous fetal monitoring in an excellent hospital with a NICU.

What an odd post.  Would you regret it [b]if you had a c/s and knicked an artery and you bled to death[/b]?  Or you got a blood clot after surgery that ended up with a pulmonary embolism?  It doesn't make sense to make the decision based on highly unlikely catastrophic scenarios.  Look at the overall likelihood of adverse effects, your own individual situation, and your own comfort with the most likely scenarios.

What idiot doctor would knick an artery in a scheduled C?  I've never heard of that happening.  I did bust an artery with my VBAC -- baby's head damaged the artery so much it swelled and burst.  I do recommend it as a way to die though...massive blood loss is very peaceful.  (The swelling was awfully painful, but once the artery burst and I was bleeding to death...totally felt better.)  Obviously C-sections have risks, but my impressions is that surgical error is not a big problem in scheduled C's (as opposed to things like infection).  I posted before and said whatever you do -- just make sure they can give you a transfusion!  Blood transfusions and antibiotics are basically the two miracles of modern medicine that can cure almost everything if you get them fast enough.[/quote]

But c-sections have a much higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage...
