Has anyone here had a vbac and could share their experience? What decision process did you go through before you decided to undergo a vbac?

It is possible to have VBAC. According to a statistics from Singapore, the chance of a successful VBAC is between 60% and 70%. It is generally higher for women who have had previous successful vaginal deliveries. The chance of success may be lower if the reason for the previous caesarean section was due to cephalopelvic disproportion (i.e. where the baby is relatively too big to pass through the maternal pelvis). http://www.singhealth.com.sg/PatientCare/ConditionsAndTreatments/Pages/Pregnancy-During-Pregnancy-Vaginal-Birth-After-Caesarean-Section.aspx I have a few friends who had successfully giving birth to their 2nd baby via VBAC. However, there is one who didn't manage to do it and end up a c-sect due to cervix unable to dilate. Do look for gynae that is pro-VBAC and has a good track records of successful VBAC. One of the recommendation will be Dr. Lai Fon Min from Camden Medical Centre. Another one is Dr. Paul Tseng from TMC.

I have 2 successful vba2c (meaning I have 2 previous scars). Recently doctors become more supportive for vbac, so what you need to do is find them and talk to them. Be sure to prepare yourself with vbac knowledge first, such as the risks, diet and exercise that you can do to help increase the success of vbac. here are some links for you: (c-section scar massage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he_YB9e__rQ http://www.childbirthconnection.org/article.asp?ck=10211&ClickedLink=293&area=27#safer www,ican.org (web for international cesarean awareness network)

Hi, may i know who is your gynae? Thank you

Discuss with your obstetrician before you make the decision. You need to understand the pros and cos of both VBAC and ERCS. I personally had 2 successful VBACs.

you need a gynae who is supportive of your vbac decision, have you manage to find a gynae?

best of luck mummy :)
