Hello, just wondering if anyone can suggest a VBAC forum anywhere. I would like to read as many experiences as I can. My first delivery was a Cesarean due to breech presentation. I am sort of hoping to go VBAC this time for recovery reasons but am lacking the confidence to deliver naturally. This is awful as I was so looking forward to it last time, for some strange reason. Thank you. Perhaps it could added to the topics. ↓

Hi Karen. I'm not much help really with knowing a VBAC forum, but I do know a woman who had a successful VBAC. Her first was an emergency c-section and her second she was able to deliver vaginally. She told me something quite interesting. She said that a VBAC is actually far less risky than docs make it out to be. She said that more harm to the baby is posed doing amniocentisis than a VBAC. Does you doc or hospital allow VBACs? I had a c-section in August also due to breech presentation (unfortunately, my baby was stillborn because her cord was wrapped 3 times around her neck). I too am interested in a VBAC, although probably not on my next pregnancy simply because of what happened this last time (was almost 41 weeks), but possibly further down the road. Good luck! ↑

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry to hear that. I understand that the risks are minimal and the hospital does allow VBAC. They will monitor the labour closely. I think I just need to hear others' stories to help me feel that more confident. My concerns are so trivial compared to what you have had to deal with, I wish you all the very best and thank you for your reply. ↑

There is a lot of info out there. I have only heard positive things about women who do this. But you need to find a hospital or doc who support this, because many (too many do not) so check out hospital policy. I also have a friend who had her breech baby vaginally. She just had to find the right birth center who are still trained in such birth. I was breech when I was born! Good luck!! ↑
