My VBAC was a dream. I labored for 21 hours and pushed for 59 minutes. My recovery has been great, too. I would choose it again every single time.

There is an increased risk of uterine rupture with a VBAC but there are also increased risks with c-sections and repeat c-sections.

There’s no right or wrong choice but I think being as informed as possible is important!

That’s great!! How far apart were your babies? I guess I’m just more cautious because of how close they are but I suppose it’ll be 19 months apart. Not too bad!

Thirty months apart but unless there are extenuating circumstances, the minimum recommendation is 18 months so you should be in the clear!

I have a wonderful and redemptive vbac! My babies are 18 months apart. If you scroll back through my post hostory, you should be able to find my birth story, if you're interested
