I think its personally up to the individual pregnant woman to decide the risks after researching and being informed. I agree some woman dont research and are not informed and just say yes when they havent been in labour. However, is it true that you cannot have a c-section now in the public system unless you have a medical reason?
In my case Julia's head got stuck in my pelvis after 36 hours of labour and me pushing when fully dialated so my c-section was emergency as her heartbeat was very low also. What would you do? continue trying to push and nothing happening and risk death of the baby or opt for the emergency c-section?
If you have a choice between a VBAC, possible rupture of the uterus and possible surgery or blood transfusion would you choose that over c-section? which is the more harmful surgery? What happens when you rupture the uterus? I would be interested in knowing the stats so I can be informed and make a decision myself this time round. Also my OB is all for VBAC for me its my choice. I just want to do research for myself.
