  ICAN asked:

  From our inbox: "I had a emergency c- section with my son at 38 weeks. I was induced due to high protein in my urine, leading to pre-eclampsia. My blood pressure and everything was normal the entire time I was in the hospital. Long story short after 36 hours, my cervix had swelled and i had only reached 9.5 dilation. They tried to assist during pushing and my sons heart rate was dropping severely. They let me take a break and then tried one more time but it was off to emergency c section. Itwas the most traumatic experience. Now my son will be 2 next week and my husband and I are wanting to start trying for baby #2 in a month or so. I have been reading scary things on Google, totally scaring me about getting pregnant. Things such as c section scar pregnancy and all of the placenta issues. Does anyone have any recommendations or is there any sort of screening my Dr can do before we start trying to make sure everything is okay in there? I will wait if there is something I can do to help my chances of having a safe and healthy pregnancy. I had a "presumed ectopic" ( treated with methotrexate) and a miscarriage before it took 9 months to get pregnant with my son. He is completely healthy though and I had a great pregnancy until the pre-eclampsia diagnosis at my 38 week appt. The surgeon told me right after my c section I should be able to have a vbac and it's definitely something I want to do! Just looking for some support and information. Thank you so much!" #ICANSupport

  Alicia B. asked:

  Good morning! Thank you for adding me to the group! My family is moving to the area and was wondering if anyone could recommend a pediatrician for my 7 month old and a ob/gyn for myself? Im currently 25 weeks pregnant and I have been advised that repeat csection is my only option since my first born was emergency csection and closeness in pregnancies!

  www.vbacfacts.com is where you can go to be empowered about not having a repeat cesarean, unless medically necessary.

  Omaha W. asked:

  Some women who have had more than two cesarean sections say their local hospital options for a vaginal delivery closed when a sympathetic doctor and hospital ceased to support their wishes.

  Kyla D. asked:

  Can anyone tell me if there are any doctors or midwives in the Edmonton area that will support a VBA2C? Thank you :)

  

  Edmonton E. replied:

  All of the midwives should. Some only in Hospital. There is a very short list of Drs on my 'ok' list, I'm still trying to compile it. but Dr. Mayo, Dr. Tankel, Dr Erin Bader, Dr. Olson at the Allin Clinic momscaredocs.ca (this info is subject to change) If you go to vbacfacts.com there is a list of questions to ask an OB to see if they are vbac friendly

  Raising K. asked:

  Advice please. Repost. Hi, I have a baby boy who is ten weeks old and, I know it seems a little fast, but we'd love to get started on number 2 sooner rather than later. I'm BFing and having to supplement with a little formula but haven't had a period yet. Does anyone know of any way (other than stopping BFing) to help kick start menstruation? Also I had to have an emergency Caesarean and would love to try for a natural birth next time so I'm open to advice or experiences if you've had something similar. Thanks mummies x P.S. I have PCOS but we were very lucky to conceive within two weeks!

  ImprovingBirth.org asked:

  HELP NEEDED ASAP - RENO, NEVADA: Provider needed to offer safe harbor for VBA2C mom whose doctor has just dropped her care at 40 weeks for declining a repeat Cesarean (doc was supportive of vaginal birth until the end of pregnancy neared). The withdrawal of care issue aside -- right now, mom just needs to know her options for supportive care. Can travel but prefers to stay as close to Reno as possible. Any thoughts? Please tag your friends and share!

  

  Sheri W. replied:

  Just so we are all supporting birth with evidence based care information, here is a great site for VBAC information (for example, "big baby" and going beyond due date do not significantly increase risk for rupture, and beyond due date does not mean baby is "too big") VBACFACTS.com

  www.VBACFACTS.com asked:

  "My doc refuses VBAC. all of the doctors in my area (that I can find are trying to make me feel like I don't have a choice. I have called and google searched for docs that take my special insurance, but they all act like i'm asking for trouble and will not do this for me. I went to a birthing center and they turned me down too. She told me to get doula and have the baby at home... Or wait until the baby was about to crown before I went to hospital.. WHAT?!? I have had one successful vbac 8 years ago. I'm a great candidate for a vbac. I DO NOT WANT TO BE CUT! I am on Medicade and live in Aiken and willing to drive to Columbia SC. Or Augusta Ga. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need a doc or a doula quick that takes prenatal Medicade. I need one that actually cares about what I want to do with my body. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me find someone. I'm 6 months. Time is limited. :( i'm freaking out! I don't want to deliver my own baby! Lol"

  www.VBACFACTS.com Any specific reason why s/he refuses? Or is it because you have had a prior CS?

  Claudia L. asked:

  i need resources! Where can i find a directory of some sort of ob's in orange county california that does them

  

  VBAC replied:

  Hi Claudia, Some companies like Sharp note which OB's attend VBACs in their directories. You would probably want recommendations from other patients, so http://www.ican-online.org would be a good place to meet local women who can give you recs. Jen from www.VBACFacts.com lives pretty close and might be able to help you, too. You can see which hospitals in your area have low cesarean rates here: http://www.theunnecesarean.com/blog/2010/4/9/california-cesarean-rates-by-hospital-2008.html Good luck! Jill
