2 C-Section...3rd natural?

Hi Vidette,

Welcome to Moomie! Congratulations with your 3rd baby!

I had a succesful VBAC almost 7 months ago. It was my second baby.

I would suggest you have a look at this thread and perhaps ask questions there as well:

I think one needs to be highly motivated to have a natural birth and from the start of your pregnancy have caregivers who has A HIGH NATURAL BIRTH RATE. I can save you a lot of drama at the end of your pregnancy and tell you now that most doctors "say" that they are open to a natural birth but at the end find some reason to do a c-section. Obviously there are cases where c-sections are needed and life saving but currently Doctors in South africa reckons we NEED c-sections in around 75 - 90% of the time (especially private hospitals). Absolutely not possible. Therefore if your care provider cannot provide you with figures of successful natural births in their practice, I would suggest you move on to someone else.

Perhaps you can share where you are from so that other moms can share suggestions of caretakers in your area.

I think the midwife route might be your best option.

Hi, have no idea how this works lol. Just sending the message and will then see what happens.

Im now about 10 weeks (not sure) with my 3rd baby. The first 2 was C-sections, my youngest will be turning 4 in February. What is the chances of giving natural birth? I really really hope that my Gyne will give me the thumbs up for natural!
