Hi Ladies,

For those who have had a CS and then gone on to try for a VBAC, did you have to have a check up (peri - operative assessment) with an anaesthetic clinic before you went into labour?

I had an OB appt last week and they said they are happy for me to try for a VBAC but have to have this appt first.

What do they do? It says on my letter it could take up to 2 hrs for the check up.

Thanks.

Hi Lisa, no I only saw the Obstetrician regarding my VBAC's, not the anethistist. Why'd they say this was necessary? You do know that this is voluntary, they can't make you and they can't stop you from VBACing due to not going!!

They said it was because it took them a long time to get the epidural in last time so i'm wondering if I have to have all the bits in place,( just not the drugs), so I can be injected straight away if there is a problem. They said they want me to labour for as long as possible with no pain relief so they can tell immediately if something is wrong. Ah well I guess I will find out in a week or so.

Yeah I agree with avoiding the pain relief as it can mask a rupture. I had a cannula (?) in my hand in case of a real emergency c-section as they can be raelly hard to get in under stress. Oh well, I guess it's best to go and see what they have to say, good luck hun.
