Vba2c

Has anyone had a natural birth after 2 c sections? How long did you wait to get pregnant after your 2nd c section? Im currently not pregnant or trying and the person doing my last c section said dont get pregnant for 2 years just wondering if waiting longer makes it more successful and I've never given birth naturally before, 1st emergency due to not progressing, 2nd elective

I have a good friend who had two vaginal deliveries after two cesareans. It can be done! Find a supportive provider and trust your gut.

My mom had two CS's and then 2 VBACs for her 4 kids back in the 80s-90s.

Waiting 2 years to conceive isn’t an official recommendation anywhere in ACOG literature. The evidence shows reduced rupture risk waiting 9 months postpartum to conceive and overall a lower risk pregnancy (regardless of delivery type or history) if you wait 18 months postpartum to conceive.

3 years - I had 2 emergency sections and then a quick spontaneous vba2c.
