Do they recut old scar?

Another question if you don't mind me asking. Why did you have the 2 C/S? Just wondering if its because of the position of the baby or placenta or fetal distress or a variety of other reasons as depending on why you had the previous ones will obviously give you a good indication of the chances of having a vaginal birth. Also did you labour previously with the first two as that also depends on how easy this labour might be. I just know women I have looked after having a VBAC seem to labour much faster (not necessarily easier) then if they have not laboured before if that makes sense. Im not making much sense. I know what I mean but I am having trouble descibing it. I will tell my friend about the accupunture. Hopefully that will halp her labour start spontaneously

Yep you make sense.
I was 10 days overdue(according to them, I had no idea of the date of my last period) then induced the induction didn't work properly and therefor I was taking too long (6hrs and only 4-5cm -1station)so when they recommended a C/S I didn't know better so agreed. #2 was only 13 mths after #1 so it made sense to me to repeat C/S.
For your friend

Ok so basically you don't have a clear idea. It difficult with IOL to C/S and when to decide enough is enough. Basically to me it sounds like you were not given enough of a chance to deliver vaginally the first time and of course after 1 C/S you are usually offered another one unless you question it and insist you want a VBAC. I hope you have the birth you want this time around.

No problems girls

Thanks for the info...I am having a c/s as the first 2 natural were really traumatic for me and the babies and nearly ended in c/s for both of them and #3 ended up emergency c/s and we nearly lost her so I am not taking any chances this time and are just having the c/s that they recommend. I have experienced the wonder of natural childbirth (I got there eventually) thankfully 2 times I just feel it is safer for me and bub to c/s. I have wonderful stress free pregnancies but awful births.

Good luck with your arrivals...safe and sound no matter how they get here.
