    Question Will I still be high risk with subsequent labours?

    How 'high risk' will I be considered if I have another baby? I have done a VBAC with no intervention needed, so will it change my options I we have a third baby?

    eta. I should add that my c.section was elective due to breech baby.

    As far as I am aware we will always be high risk, because we have a scar that they think could rupture, even though we know that it is less risk for us havng a VBAC than another CS.

    Congratulations on your VBAC. Do you have your birth story on here? I would love to read it as I will be VBACing in around 25 days!!

    i saw my doctor today (for the first time) who said she wouldn't be able to deliver me as i had emergency c-section last time, and because it is considered high risk she doesn't deliver and an ob does.... she did however say that if i had a vbac this time, and went on to have a subsequent pregnancy, that there would be no problems with her delivering a baby after a vbac..... which leads me to believe that things are a lot more 'routine' after a vbac and less high risk.... maybe every doctor's/hospital's policy is different though

    Its always a thought when you have had a past C/S but after you have had a vaginal delivery following a C/S the risk is not seen as such high risk. Still higher risk then a women who has not had a prior C/S though. Congratulations on your births by the way!
