However, when Trial of Labor fails, as happens in about 25% of the cases, an emergency cesarean is needed, which is associated with increased risks for the mother and the baby.<br /><br />The choice of the best mode of delivery depends on a variety of factors, such as your history of previous deliveries, interval since last pregnancy, your age, ethnicity, health problems and more. In some cases VBAC makes more sense, and and in some cases repeat C-section is a safer option. <br /><br />You can determine what option is the best for you using an app by Dr. Albert MD, "Pregnancy: Repeat C-section or VBAC?".<br /><br />The app for Apple iPad is available here:<br />https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pregnancy-repeat-c-section/id578140099?mt=8<br /><br />The app for Windows 8 is available here:<br />http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-us/app/pregnancy-repeat-c-section-or/886889de-748d-483e-b1b3-cbbc58d72321/m/ROW <br /><br />All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-13210176584861869272008-12-05T16:40:00.000-06:002008-12-05T16:40:00.000-06:00HiWould appreciate if you read my blog and suggest...Hi<BR/><BR/>Would appreciate if you read my blog and suggest me if VBAC is a good option<BR/><BR/>Prachiprachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663235010094198080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-64972018576575116992007-09-07T19:53:00.000-05:002007-09-07T19:53:00.000-05:00i just wanted to say how glad i am to have stumble...i just wanted to say how glad i am to have stumbled upon your blog. my daughter was born via c-section about 2 weeks ago. she was my first, and i'm farely young, so the master plan was to deliver not just vaginally, but completely naturally. no drugs at all. unfortunately things didn't go as planned, and we had to have a c-section. not that we didn't take every step to ensure the vaginal delivery would work out, it just didn't. i definately want more kids, but my c-section didn't go well at all, and when i do have more kids, i would much prefer to try vbac, but every doctor i've asked has said they don't recomend it and my doctor even showed me the paper i would have to sign saying if i should die, or the baby should die, or both, or if this goes wrong, or that, then she is not responsible. that response from her is not very reassuring, really. but your blog really is. well, i'll be on my way. i hope you don't think me too invasive, but i'd really like to talk more about your experience and how it goes, and mine as well. if you don't mind, please write me back. i don't have an account on here, but my personal email address is sweetpitalila@aol.com i would really appreciate your imput. <BR/>-LishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-36157571901971191162007-08-20T11:16:00.000-05:002007-08-20T11:16:00.000-05:00It is great to know that a labor and delivery nurs...It is great to know that a labor and delivery nurse feels that VBAC is a safer option. Most of my education as a doula has been from the natural side, and sometimes I wonder how much the facts and studies that make it to my education are filtered to provide for a certain outcome.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975310695500323217noreply@blogger.com
