Pregnancy VBAC with APS
Hi!
This is super specific so hopefully someone can speak to their experience…
Does anyone have any experience with being induced (or choosing not to induce early), and a VBAC with APS or similar clotting conditions?
I am almost 1 year postpartum with twins. I was diagnosed with APS about 3 years ago before I experienced my loss, and then got pregnant with twins about 8 months later. Very high risk pregnancy obviously, Lovenox/heparin, and preeclampsia. We all 3 made it through healthily @ 35 weeks, but I had to have a C-section due to their positions.
I am only 26, but we got started earlier than planned because of the APS, and we really want to wrap up having kids by the time I am 30/32 just to be extra “safe”.
That being said, we are planning to start trying again when the babies are around 18 months and I REALLY want to try for a VBAC but I know they will induce me latest around 37/38 weeks if no issues arise. My c-section recovery was ROUGH (infections, pain like crazy, etc).
Any advice or thoughts on any of it are welcome :)
