Can i opt for a c-section 2nd time?

I had a c-section with my first child 3.5 years ago due to her being breech, it turned out thsi was a hidden godsend and if i had of gone into labour it could have been fatal!!

So now i am terrified that the same thing will happen and i just want to opt for a c-section again....can i just ask for or demand one??

I had a good experience with my first c-section!

Yes that is right. If you have a VBAC there is always the chance that it can 'pop' so that's why the option is there to have c/s 2nd time. A friend of mine did that, the reason she had the first c/s was because the baby wouldn't decend - I think his chin was tilted? And then she got a 2nd c/s with no probs.

Thats right i guess, the MW has told me i would be referred at 26 weeks but i thought that was due to other issues......i will have lots of meetings with the ob though so will try talk him into another c......

If we were going to ahve any more kids I would go elective c section. I am not interested in trying for a vbac - lets face it, second time bubbas are not usually any smaller unless there is a reason for it, so we would have every cahance of going through an another 2 day labour to only have to have an emergency c again!

Is that true Bombshell? cos mine was breech and when I asked midwife about chances the 2nd one would be I didn't get a straight answer. I would actually like to try VBAC next time (Breech was the only issue we had, so understand why others wouldn't esp with having big bubbas, bad experiences etc)

yeah i,m the same if i ever have another baby i will be having a c-sec as i will not put myself my baby or my family/friends thur that again

I think perhaps she may have been meaning that she had reasons for her baby being breech and those reasons may happen again.
In my case the cord was only 2 inches long and the Placenta was falling apart, mu baby never would have survived a VB and the only reason i had a electiveC was because she was breech, they couldnt see on the scans she was not well, she couldnt have turned if she wanted to, poor poppit.

ok maybe you guys missed my whole dilemma then....we have (i mean me!) have a bicornuae uterus so bubs was a highly likely breech birth and poss arrival anytime from 28 weeks....Ella managed to stretch my uterus more than anyone thought...however still poss for me have another breech bubba next time...also my condition is not often found in 1st bubbas but in second ones and is reason for a 2nd breech a lot....

but then i had such a positive c section experience that i wont even consider a vag birth next time....and I dont feel like i have missed out on "giving birth" at all!!!!!
