Cervical tear VBAC |
| Message: |
Hello,
I am 5 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child & would like to attempt a VBAC. My first son was born vaginally 7 yrs ago (although not without difficulty) and my second son, who is 9 months old, was failed forceps - emergency cesarean due to brow presentation.
at some stage during my last labor i suffered a cervical tear - the whole experience was very traumatic - i lost 2 litres of blood and was considerably sick for some time. I don't want to have to go through such an emotionally and physically difficult labor again and while worried about risks, I would like to attempt a VBAC.
I would like to know if anyone has attempted a VBAC having suffered a cervical tear in a previous labor? Does anyone know what the implications of having had a cervical tear on a future pregnancy would be? Can the tear open again during dilation? Also, is it too soon to attempt a VBAC considering my son is only 9 months old? Baby 3 will be due in April 2007.
I would appreciate any ideas
Thanks! By: Tamlin |
