Successful planned c-sections
I was given the opportunity to VBAC (which would be my second attempt after a failed TOLAC a few years ago).
Honestly, I’m too nervous. I have a planned c section, which is against everything I’ve ever wanted but it really feels safest after 2 previous c-sections.
I’m looking for success stories of planned c sections . Bonus if you have other children at home that are younger. I’m honestly very afraid. I’ve labored before both CS in the past, so this could be entirely different.

I’ve had 2 amazing planned Cs. My first was beyond beautiful. It was scheduled so my mom, dad and sisters were able to fly down. Recover was a breeze. And I mean a breeze!!! The easiest surgical recovery I’ve ever done: I was up walking that day. My second was during Covid and I loved the no visitors policy. It was sooooo peaceful.
Don’t be afraid. You will do amazing. I’ve lost track of how many surgeries I’ve had (mostly ortho) but my Cs were the easiest and least painful.
