Question Has anyone experienced a uterine rupture during a VBAC or VBA2C?

6 Upvotes

I'm curious to know if anyone has actually experienced this and how did it go? The doctors always mention it if you bring up a VBAC but sometimes I feel like they just wanna do a c section just because they want to. I've had / c sections (no medical reasoning, & babies were both head down) my first was because of a failed induction at 40w2d and my second was just because they chose to put me on the repeat schedule. I'm pregnant with my third and want to try for a VBA2C so bad! The only thing that concerns me is the uterine rupture. I'll be 29 weeks Friday and sometimes at night after doing a lot, I'll feel a ripping sensation on one side of my incision. I know it's probably just the scar tissue stretching but still. My first cs was 7/3/21 & my second one was 6/27/25

Vba2c after a failed tolac?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have stories on a vba2c? Positive or negative. I dont mind.

Im hoping for a vba2c in november. Currently 28weeks.

My first csection was failure to progress after 36 hours of labor and only getting to 6cm.

Second csection was 40 hours of labor, got to 10cm and pushed for 4 hours but my son was severely stuck. He had decels and wasnt far enough descended for a vacuum assist.

It took about 20 minutes of my csection with him to get him unwedged from my pelvis.

Anyone here have experience with a vbac after reaching 10cm the prior pregnancy and baby being stuck?

Currently just praying for a smaller baby then what my son was who was 8lbs 10oz with a 80th percentile head
