Will I have to have a Cesarean?

[Guest guest]

Hi Y'all My name is Crystal and I am from detroit michigan area.

I had WLS almost 10 months ago.. and suddenly I am pregnant! My

first thought is... " gee... my incision really hurts still.. I wonder

if I could even handle labor? " This will be my 5th child.. and only

one before was a C-section.

Do doctors routinely perform c-sections on WLS patients? Could I

still use a midwife at the hospital?

many OB's are going back to " once a c-section, always a c-section.

Others will disagree. If you prefer, ttry to locate an OB in your area

who is an advoate for VBAC> Having GBS doenst " qualify " for another

c-section, but personally, Open ENY ot not, c-section is the ONLY way

I'll EVER consider another child.

JMHO!

-p.s. you say " gee... my incision really hurts still.. I wonder

> if I could even handle labor? " ---->>> this would be a major reason

NOT to try a vaginal birth plainly for the fact the incision hurts now

before your belly ex-pansion, imagine how it will hurt 9 months pregnant.

Think long and hard about the pros an cons...

i had a very bad, rough, long healing, infected csection 5 years ago and i had

lap RNY 5 1/2 months ago, i'm 15 weeks pregnant. my perinatologist agreed i

could be a canidate for VBAC. as long as i go completely on my own, before my

due date, and the baby was smaller then my previous baby (which that's the part

i'm nerveous about-he was only 7 lbs 4 ozs). so it is possible to have a vbac

after csection and WLS, jsut gotta call the Drs and find out...good luck!

Nope...doctors have no reason to do a cesarean just because you had

WLS...one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

As for having had a previous cesarean...VBACs are more controversial

in some areas that others. I got pregnant 5 months postop and had a

beautiful homebirth VBAC....
