Second Baby After C Section

Safety for you and your baby is the main thing.

Second baby after c section. Expect to have a pulling sensation as the belly starts to grow which happens sooner than in your first pregnancy and a scratching or burning sensation around the scars. If you are interested you and your doctor should discuss if you are a good candidate. There is some pain in a second pregnancy after c section that women should expect it mostly comes from the cesarean section scars.

For many women attempting a trial of labor after cesarean tolac is possible. Vaginal birth after c section vbac is growing in popularity. A vaginal birth after c section vbac is possible for many women but there are factors to help you and your doctor decide if it s right for you.

For me a second c section was the right choice. And once that hysterectomy happens you can no longer bear more children. After delivering their first or second or third child women may itch to have another baby right away.

However if you don t feel a repeat c section is right for you and your doctor agrees there could be other options. In fact if you re in your late 30s it might make more sense to begin trying to conceive nine to 12 months after having a c section. But does having a c section impact your conception plans.

If you ve delivered a baby by c section and you re pregnant again you might be able to choose between scheduling a repeat c section or a vaginal birth after cesarean vbac. For years women who d had a c section were encouraged to skip vaginal deliveries altogether and schedule c sections for all future births. Many women who have had a cesarean section or c section with their first pregnancy are interested in a vaginal delivery for their second or later births.

A repeat c section may not be your only option.
