How Long to Wait For Vbac? Posted: 10-14-07 23:16pm
Hiya! My husband and I are wanting to
have another child. Lachlan is almost 1
and we ideally would like them 2 years
apart. I had to have a c-section because
i was leaking amniotic fluid from 33 weeks
(lachlan kicked a bit too hard!) and it
was risky letting me go to long due to an
infection.
Does anyone know if 2 years is too soon
for me to try for a natural birth? PS -
lachlan took 15 months to concieve so
chances are they might end up being 3
years apart, but who knows maybe i'll get
lucky.
Thanks!

I've read somewhere online that it's
recommended that you wait 2 years after a
c-section to attempt a vbac, but it's not
required to wait that long. I'm not sure
if that's the case most times. Maybe Ingi
or someone else has a better answer
tomorrow. You can always ask your doctor
what he/she recommends and make sure that
they agree in letting you attempt it. Good
luck when the time comes!

I've also read the same thing about
waiting 2 years. Just so everything heals
properly.
