- This video is not meant to scare anyone into not tying for a VBAC, I just wanted to share my story to inform more people and educate on what can happen during birth. Ruptures do happen and I am the one in 200, but I hope that this statistic gets lower one day. Thank you for hearing my story!

When I was 7mos pregnant with my 3rd, my uterus ruptured. I felt a sharp pain on 1 side and it was enough to make me scream. Then the pain suddenly faded away and I got a warm sensation throughout my pelvis, and then nothing..no pain or anything, but, it scared me so I went into Kaiser and they did an ultrasound and nonstress test and the nonstress test was normal, but the ultrasound showed something, which the.dr concluded was just “scar tissue” from my previous c sections. And they sent me home. Then about a week later I was doing laundry and that pain I got in the side of my pelvis a week prior, happened again suddenly but this time the pain seared through my entire pelvis and all the way around my back and down both legs, and a cold rush went through my body and I fell to my knees and the pain didn’t subside, in fact it got more severe. I called 911 and they brought me to the hospital. So I get back to the hospital and they do more tests and my ultrasound showed an even larger mass around my lower pelvis. They concluded that it was probably my “scar tissue and inflammation” which made no sense. So for the next 2 days they monitored me,and at that point my lower abdomen was in extreme pain.they had a dr come in and take a long needle and inject lidocaine into my c section scar. Since I wasn’t due yet my dr was on vacation, she had to call the hospital and advocate on my behalf. I finally talked to her on the phone and told her I knew for a fact something was terribly wrong and she had to fight with the doctors to do something. So they ordered an amniocentesis for the following morning. I was still I severe pain.so the following morning my husband had to work so his mom came to stay with me when I got the amnio. She’s super proper and I’ve never said anything remotely bad around her. As soon as they put that needle in my stomach, I screamed at the top of my lungs and was cursing and crying. She looked terrified when I did that. It was one of the most intense pains I’ve ever felt. When they withdrew the amniotic fluid, it was all bloody. So they immediately get on the phones and there is a lot of commotion and they wheel me in to an emergency c section. We called my husband and he almost didn’t make it there in time. When they did the csection it was very quite. The dr and staff were kinda whispering.I heard my baby cry and I was relieved and they took him away to give him oxygen and I noticed the c section was taking a lot longer than usual. I had had 2 previous csections before. Then I hear the words “uterine rupture”. Then I see this blue stuff in an iv bag and running through me..turns out that not only was my uterus completely ruptured but they accidentally cut my bladder. So that was fun 😒 so I get transferred to the ICU because I had so much blood loss and my vitals were extremely low. So ffwd to the following day and I get transferred to postpartum and finally get to see my baby. The nurse comes in and calls us the miracle baby and mom. My dr calls me and tells me my uterus and bladder ruptured, and the “scar tissue” they said they saw on ultrasound was actually blood from me slowly internally bleeding.. the only thing that was keeping me and my baby alive was his amniotic sac acting like a cork, sealing the majority of my rupture shut. But I was still leaking blood. They said if my water would have broke, we both would have died within a couple minutes. I’m not gonna lie, The recovery of a uterine/bladder ruptured was rough, but it started to slowly get better overtime. The drs saved my uterus but said the damage was so extensive that I would either never get pregnant again or if I did by some miracle I would likely lose it, and that i should never have another baby. That was tough. So I was terrified and went on birth control right off the bat. I went about my life and remained on birth control and then 5 years later, I found out I was pregnant..and I was completely in shock and terrified. I was monitored closely and had to go on bed rest at 5mos. I spotted and sometimes bled like a period through my whole pregnancy, but every time they monitored my son, he was always fine. Strong heartbeat, etc.. for safely reasons and because of my uterine rupture history, they delivered him early. Today he’s 7 years old and the goofiest cutest smartest little boy❤️ ......and I still have my uterus, although I did get my tubes tied after him.
Thank you for sharing your story. That is so scary!!!! Only us women and God know what we actually go through. I’m sure that there are some parts you left out because there are so many “little things” that happen when we are in labor. I’m so happy to hear you and your babies were ok ❤️
How far apart were your pregnancies? My births will be 14 months apart and Ive had 2 previous c-sections as well IM TERRIFIED 😭
Omg. What a scary experience
Thank you for sharing your story! On my second pregnancy last month I went in for a vbac. Unfortunately after my successful natural vaginal birth my uterus ruptured right after. They saved my uterus but I also now am so confused on what’s next, and if another baby will every be possible, or if I should ever take that risk. It’s heartbreaking. I am lucky to have two healthy babies but not knowing if it’s too dangerous to ever have more really is scary.
By logic if the uterus ruptured they will never delay the emergency of quick labor by cseation directly... I know my cuisine after 2 months of cseation she got pregnant and delivered her baby normally ...
Ugh, that's scary! I am so sorry you had to go through all that. It's definitely the hospital's fault. Bc they were supposed to give you a VBAC complications pamphlet. Let you read it and have you sign agreeing to all the complications. The doctor and nurses suggested I had a c-section and I agreed with them. So I didn't sign for a VBAC. They told me I'm at high risk for uterine rupture and they don't think I can have another vaginal delivery. So I got a scheduled c-section next year.
I don’t understand how no one suspects a rupture uterus with all the red flags, in a TOLAC!! The rupture itself might have happened regardless of a previous CS given your description of the site (not at the original scar) , could also be related to adhesions from the initial CS, but regardless should have been on top of the team’s mind.
As a physician , who is also pregnant and hoping for a VBAC (and a big supporter of it), this is terribly negligent. Very sorry hearing what you went through but happy you and baby survived.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
Psalm 34:18 🙏🏻
I'm really sorry for the negative comments you're receiving. Thank you for having the courage to share your story.
I agree ! It’s crazy .. she’s sharing her story 🤦🏻♀️
I agree. What this young woman went through is hell and her life is forever changed. She’s bravely sharing her story and hopefully it changes someone else’s delivery outcome. No one has the right to criticise her.
I’m so sorry you went through this 💔😢... Thank you so much for sharing. I’m pregnant in South Africa and I’ve had 2 c-sections and I was considering a vbac but I now know that I shouldn’t.
I had C-section, vbac, C-section, vbac. I would say do not be induced and do not get the epidural that prolongs the pushing stage and can increase risk of rupture. I wasn't induced, no epidural and I was fine. But some people have not been.
I agree... It's clearly stated that being induced ups the risk of uterine rupture. Here should be as little intervention as possible.
To be honest, I think the epidural probably diminishes a bodies ability to push safely 😢
I think we fear natural pain when we should be more fearful of the complications of medical interventions.
IMO
So sad that you had such a traumatic birth experience 😢
Honey you need to sue! Even if there’s no financial restitution make those WORTHLESS EXCUSES FOR DOCTORS think again next time!
Doctors clearly tell you all of the possible risks for having a V-BAC. It’s called informed consent. There was no hint of personal responsibility at all in this entire video.
@@crazeekids9744 Probably why she said she feels guilty.
She wanted the 'experience' of giving birth. Well, she's got it.
I'm not void of sympathy, but I know she must have signed a dozen papers saying a VBAC is dangerous and not advised.
It's extraordinary that she and her child are alive, extraordinary that that other docter caught this on a suspicion and insisted on a second opinion.
I feel like I'm being harsh, but all these comments just blanket blaming her medical team are just aggravating me.
This is one of the risks of childbirth, we forget that in the modern era, but women used to die in childbed, *often*.
I had a vbac. Nobody told me anything other than it was risky. I took it upon myself to find our what I could. But nobody said a thing to me nor did I have to sign anything and we never had a talk about anything at all. His birth was hell nc I caught the flu from my daughter which is what put me into labor. I was 2 weeks overdue. 42 and a half weeks.
@Anne Hedonia I wish you would have got the c section so you could complain about how hard that would be to recover from LMAO you can’t walk or move or lie down or get up to grab your baby by yourself for such for a week or longer! By the third c section I walked out of the hospital by myself yes but you just have no idea so please STFU
@Anne Hedonia vbac is not statistically likely. It's about 0.7% of the cases that experience complications. Her doctors were flat out negligent, it had nothiy with her decision to do a vbac. The fact that you don't understand is YOUR problem. Read about birth trauma and have a bit of compassion.
Honestly this is heartbreaking and for anyone to be mean to you about it is ridiculous.
Induction is never a good idea when dealing with VBACS. This was 100% their fault. I’m so sorry the people you should’ve been able to trust failed you. Thank you Lord that you and baby are okay ❤️
That’s not true at all. We can induce on a favorable cervix using pitocin.
Pitocin does create stronger than natural contractions; ask anyone who has had labors with Pit and natural. They can tell you how much worse the Pit was. Not a good idea with anyone whose had section.
While induction can be safe with a vbac, this was not the case. And if it was, they should have been way more vigilant with it. There is something very confusing about how nonchalant this labor team was with the multitude of red flags. It is almost like they didn’t know it was a VBAC so didn’t suspect anything.
It's never a good thing at all....VBAC or not, induction is the core reason for many complications and results in C's most of the time 😢
absolute Truth@@miguel_miggy97
I thought they weren't supposed to induce labor when you're attempting a VBAC because it can increase the chances of a uterine rupture?
Was just thinking this
I know this is 4years later and you may not see this but Thank you so much for this video! Thank God and Bless you and your family! There are not too many videos on this subject from real ppl with experiences and you have answered so many questions and concerns that my OB and PCP did not tell me. I’m currently pregnant with our rainbow baby. I have two previous c-sections due to breeched babies and I am pushing so hard for a VBAC this time. My OB just look at me like no, why, just do a C section but not telling me why!! You are a blessing to all women and men that have had this experience or that maybe hoping for a VBAC! Thank you for your story, your honesty, and your strength to tell the world!! You are incredible!!
Highly recommend listening to freebirth society podcast. So many misconceptions about birth and you deserve your vbac!!!
@@X-de4io I never considered vbacs that important or having a vaginal birth at all. As long as the baby arrived safely I didn't care and at no time have I ever felt like I missed out on anything having a caesarian. I had one, my daughter had two, my brothers wife had her child via caesarian as well. Without caesarians we would have died. I realize a lot of women regard a vaginal birth as an important experience, and oddly attach that as an important link to their womanhood, but I can't imagine why. LOL I went home before the moms who had vaginal births. Two days after surgery I left, whilst they were still having their sitz baths and dealing with tears.
@@hilaryc3203 interesting that you never considered it important- it is! I had both daughters at home, didn’t tear! Didn’t even leak because you should have a healthy pelvic floor. Had sex right away too! The best way to birth your baby- for mum & baby is vaginal physiological birth.
@@hilaryc3203 most doctors lie to you, you probably were t going to die, they just put you on a time schedule and said that to take your money. They’re a business designed to have you “birth” as soon as possible and when it takes too long they opt for slicing your baby out!
@@hilaryc3203 a vaginal birth is the most life changing experience! It’s someone ever mother and baby should and deserves to experience. The mother baby bond is only at its peak strength once you’ve gone through the natural hormonal labour process. That labour process is what triggers the mum instinct. It’s all connected
I hope you get to experience it one day
I hope I get to do it like 10 more times, it’s the best experience and the biggest high, nothing beats it
I didn’t think they could induce after a c section because of the risk of rupture? It sounds like your hospital was extremely negligent. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m so sorry you went through this.
Yes I am planning a vbac and I can't be induced. If I go over 40 weeks I will need to have a c-section. Epidural also is not advise. Plus I will have to dilate at a certain rate, doctor won't allow me to be in a active labour for more than four hours.
I was thinking the same thing! 😲
fundamoniam I was similar, my doctor wanted to give me the option of a vbac but it was very planned out. No induction and I couldn’t go further than a couple days past due(I have bigger babies) and they were very cautiously of rupture risks
You certainly can be induced after a csection when you are trying for a VBAC. We don't use certain meds and use lower doses of meds when you are a TOLAC'er but you can still be induced.
@@missschimming well I can't be induced. I'm not making it up- multiple docs and midwives have said this. It makes sense to me since induced contraction are much stronger and much faster and put additional strain on the scar. Perhaps it is a case by case decision but I am not comfortable with it.
I cried with you.. praise the Lord your sweet baby made it here safely and you are alive. You’re an amazing mama. I hope you are doing better physically now.
I saw the empty crib & felt an immediate pain in my heart... Thank God you & your baby are both here & ok! I was so happy to see your little one in your arms 💖
As someone who has only had home births, the "wait and see" attitudes of the "professionals" at your birth really angers me. My midwife is super cautious and always tries to stay a step ahead because there isn't life saving equipment right down the hall. How could the doctors and nurses just let you sit there and not bring in any of the tools at their disposal? Sorry they neglected you and caused you so much pain.
“At least you have two healthy babies” does not diminish the pain in your heart. I hated when people said that after my unplanned cesarean because it almost dismisses the hurt and tells you to just move on. My heart goes out to you, mama. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. You are so strong.
I totally agree, it really does make you feel guilty and like you should just “get over it”. Unfortunately sometimes people just don’t think before they speak!
Yes, she has two beautiful babies, but her body has been destroyed! Comments like “at least you have two healthy babies” reduces her to no more that a baby vessel. Her children have a damaged mother, her husband has a damaged wife, and her life is irreparably damaged physically and emotionally. VBAC statistics include problems resulting from botched caesareans. I hope she is able to find justice in all of this, and they lose their medical licences, so that this cannot happen to another woman in their care.
Yes. So tired of hearing “at least you and baby are healthy” from people who never bothered to ask if we were ok!
very true!
Your story is heartbreaking. VBACs are usually very safe, but it is vital that the medical team look out for negative symptoms, and your medical team were BEYOND negligent. As a birth specialist in the UK we are not a litigation culture, but you should sue them to within an inch of their lives. Your labour, delivery and postpartum were handled with such negligence, they should have their medical licenses revoked. My heart goes out to you.
I hate hearing people say VBACS are usually safe, no they are ALWAYS VERY RISKY, they just usually turn out OK. That doesn't reduce the risks that just means that person made it through it but i would never recommend a VBAC to anyone because of the dangers of uterine and placental abruption, cord compression and severe fetal distress. Especially would never never never have a VBAC WITH INDUCTION THAT IS CRAZY!
Nowadays VBACS are pretty safe. Yes they are riskier than not having had one but to put out the notion that if you have a cesarean that you will always have one because VBAC is not a safe option at all is pretty extreme. You have to be a good candidate for it and this is something your medical history and medical team should make you aware of. Uterine rupture from VBACS happen but from all current research and knowledge they are still on the rare side with more women having success than not. I also have heard that getting induced after having a cesarean is not a good idea at all and will only increase the chances of complications including uterine rupture. Child birth is a major process and there are plenty of things that could go wrong even with a vaginal birth and never having a cesarean at all so it’s best to try to be as informed as possible before conception even takes place.
@@kirstenornelas881 You have to look at statistics because yes they could be dangerous, but for the most part they are very safe.
I am so surprised they didn't realize her uterus rupture.
Do you use 'Aniball' (2014) or 'Epi-no Delphine Plus' (Jan 1999) and actually advise mums to achieve a 10cm diameter opening for baby, prior to the start of birth, or just skin massage without stretching the fibrous coat of the pelvic floor muscles, which is the mechanism of transforming the floor of the lower tummy into a trapdoor, which allows baby out of mum's tum?
Did the first forceps, actually pull mum off the couch, indicating failure to follow the pelvic curve?So a failure forceps because of a poor technique, so a C/section that could have been avoided?
"I was the one in two hundred" That right there has solidified in my mind that a repeat c section is right for me. I've been considering a VBAC for two weeks (currently 19 weeks pregnant) and watching videos of successful VBACs. But I think all those "Successful VBAC raw and emotional" videos make us think that it's the way to go. That you should want to, that it's safe if you just believe you can do it. I've always wanted to experience birth; it's incredible. I tried. It was a traumatic birth that ended FOUR days later with a uterine infection, a stressed baby, a fever of 103, stalled labor, and an emergency c section.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that you know you that you are HELPING many of us out there who feel the pressure to do a VBAC.
I've never said this in a comment, but I wish I could reach through and give you a hug. I hope you recover well and quickly.
That’s so interesting because I had to travel over 2 hours away to be able to try for a vba2c. Don’t give up on a vbac as long as there isn’t a reason if you want one! I’ve heard that a vbac is safer than a repeat C-section.
Did you get the elected C or the Vbac?? I'm so on the fence! Curious how it went for you! I'm 24 weeks!
Exactly... People who pass away during a vbac attempt aren't alive to make a birth video.
@TheTelly the think is unfortunately once you've had a c section, there is a risk with both. I've had 3 children. 2 natrual normal births and then one emergency c section due to PE and baby was 10 pound 11 so after an induction she just would come out.
If you look at stats comparing c section to vbac they both have their own risks unfortunately. Although from what I've seen, and I've looked alot, a vbac has a slightly lower fatality rate, also succes rate for a vbac is 70-90% depending on what caused the first c section and if you've given birth before.
My situation, my biggest regret on hearing I had PE was getting the epidural ! I couldn't move and it only numbed one side, I needed to be walking about and on all fours, getting baby down! That's what I done with my first two with just gas and air.
Also time gap between kids ! Wait AT LEAST 24 months between a c section and next kid, regardless if you want planned section or not as rupture is a risk from pregnancy also.
I'm personally waiting at least 5 years, mines about to turn 4 years and I'm getting my body on optimum condition before trying again.
I had three vbacs at home and while it was difficult, it was very doable.
I had two midwives and two assistants.
With an experienced midwife, in a birthing center, 22:14 it works.
How these professionals with degrees had no idea what was going on or even the little bit of suspicion earlier on before it got worse is beyond me. They completely failed you !
Yeah it pisses me off too I feel so bad that they failed her some people shouldn’t be doctors like their mind set is oh cool I’m gonna go do all the hard work to be a doctor only to be dumb and fail people
yes, agreed! and I wonder whether their intervention caused this in the first place: I might be mistaken,, but doesn't Pitocin cause constractions much more violent than those your body would normally produce? at least it seems to me that a medical induction must make it harder for your body to regulate your contractions naturally in the way it needs to
@@kristinaandrea9829 Great point!
Kristina Andrea yes defiantly can cause rupture because pitocin is a dug and it causes very powerful contractions that’s why natural labour takes so long something they don’t have time for.
@@kristinaandrea9829 I do think so too based on my own birth experience.
Thank you for sharing your very personal and emotional experience! You have laid something to rest for me. I’ve had 2 C-sections and would like more children but didn’t want another C-section but not realize trying for a VBAC may not be worth the risk. I pray for a healthy recovery for you!
The risk of uterine rupture is very low ❤️
@bakingwithbethany8476 it's not that low. Too many women DIE from uterine rupture.
U r a hero.... Allah bless you and your baby
The things we as women go thru to bring life into this world is actually pretty scary. thanks so much for sharing your story
Sweetheart.. I’m dealing with infertility and recurrent miscarriages and you have every right to cry and feel the way you feel because what you had to go through is traumatic! God bless your soul
I literally cannot believe you are still alive! There are so many red flags the first hospital missed. God Bless you! I'm so happy you're here with your family!
Mine was different I had a csection and after my csection I wasn’t feeling well at all even a week later. I told my nurses I was in so much pain. Come to find out the doctor “forgot” to stitch me internally so I was bleeding internally for a week. I developed a bad blood infection (sepsis) I was sooo close to death my organs were dying . I feel you’re pain! After giving birth I was transferred to the ICU for a month I couldn’t see my baby for a month it was sooooooo hard. Thank god my body fight back
Wow, that is absolutely horrible and thank god they finally figured out what was wrong! That is so horrible and on top of everything you couldn’t see you baby for a month? That is the saddest most heartbreaking thing. I hope you’re healing well!
I really hope you sued! You could probably pay for your baby to get a PhD with all the money that hospital owes you.
I'm really sorry 😔
Ooo you poor thing 🥺
Forgot? That's beyond awful. And his assistant didn't notice? Negligence.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. ❤ I had a traumatic birth in January 2019 and it makes me so angry that there are so many of us not being treated properly and such carelessness happening. Sending you a giant internet hug. ❤
I’m so sorry that you’ve had a traumatic birth as well, I hope you’re doing better now ❤️ I really do feel like there’s a huge lack of care for pregnant/postpartum mothers in the US, so many stories in this comment section of other moms who have similar stories! I hope through all of our stories that things improve for the future generations.
I’m sorry I had a traumatic birth January 2010!
It's because they're inducing people with non FDA approved drugs like cytotec
Watching this at 38 weeks of pregnancy, attempting for a vbac with my second child, I feel very anxious, and my heart broken for your very bad experience. I don't know what to think, thus in our country they never induce a woman when attempting a vbac, either she goes into labor naturally or it's directly another C-section. Wish me luck
Wishing you so much peace, and a calm, stress free birth! Congratulations on your pregnancy, you’ve got this!! 💪🏼💕

Alhamdulilah, I had a successful vbac at 40 weeks, I didn't labour until the obgy did a membrane sweep, that day contractions started to be harder, it was Thursday, on Friday morning I had the vbac, with no induction, and no epidural, it was torture, because all of my contractions were in the back, and I begged for epidural they didn't give it to me, they said we won't know if there is an issue with your c-section scar,. The funny thing, is that they prepared me for a c-section, and gave me in the last minutes anesthesia in my back, because I was suffering and couldn't bear more, but when she checked me I was 9 cm dilated, so they were forced to use forceps to pull my baby. That was my adventure :), my baby girl is now 3 months
@@rainbowsky5155 Thank you. This was so helpful to know. Thanks so much. ❤
@@rainbowsky5155 how many years after your c section did you have a vbac sis?
AWW SWEET GIRL...I say almost the same story..I was 20 and my wife and I had finally had a I.U.I transfer that actually took. We found out we were having twin boys and we were so so excited. I had a little rough pregnancy I had severe morning sickness and lost about 20lbs the first 5 months at 34 weeks on Dec 24 I went into preterm labor. The hospital kept sending me home and saying I was only 3 centimeters that I need to stay in bed but i felt something was wrong. I was in excruciating pain my wife took me back to the hospital and they checked me and I was 6 centimeters. They rushed me to a l&d room and I kept saying my babies are horizontal that I needed a c section.The O.B on call wasnt my Doctor. She was extremely rude and said i was being dramatic and that I was only 6 centimeters and shouldnt be screaming in pain that badly.I said something is wrong and I went to stand up and blood gushed out of me .my heart rate sky rocketed and my blood pressure dropped.I woke up 3 days later to find out I lost both of my boys and had a full hysterectomy because my uterus ruptured and ended up suffocating both babies....I later found out that the O.B that was my doctor actually had her license revoked in 10 states for the same issues but my state never checked her background...my story could of been easily prevented....I really wish you and your family all the love and happiness 🖤💜🤍
I’m so sorry you lost your babies and your ability to have more. That’s so sad.
Wow....I am so sorry that they didn’t listen to you and that doctor treated you that way! Also I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby boys. I can’t imagine how painful that was and still is but thank you so much for sharing your story. Its so helpful to hear that you’re not alone when you go through something traumatic like this ❤️
@@lifewithmarina4668 Thank you for responding. Before all this happened I was always someone who put their complete trust into my doctors but now I encourage women fo really listen to your body and fight for yourself when you know something is wrong 🤍💜🤍
This is such a devastating story of loss and I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you find healing and only experience joy and health in the future 💜
Oh my goodness, I am so very very sorry this happened to you. I hope you sought full litigation for the monumental mess up and loss this hospital caused you. I cannot even imagine.
Also, my dr told me if I did choose to try for a vbac that being induced was not an option because the medication they give you causes a ton of risks for a vbac so I would have to go into labor in my own or have the scheduled C-section… so I’m a little shocked they have you the option to be induced!
Marina, I can so relate. I had a uterine rupture discovered at c-section and was told straight after birth not to have any more children. It was all very traumatic and I am grateful I survived and my baby too. A few hours later it could have ended differently. My baby is miraculously healthy despite initial breathing difficulties due to meconium and three days on the NICU. I am still in mourning that I cannot have more babies despite having two healthy children that I am so grateful for.
God blessed I'm also thankful and grateful I just went through this in October on top my mother dies I know God is with me I got blessed with 4 beautiful children ❤️ had to get my uterus take out
Your uterus ruptured during c section?
I was told the same thing. I’m now pregnant with my third and was told I never should have been told that! I’ll just be having a c section at 37 weeks

Hello sister,
My wife recently got uterus rupture when we trying for VBAC. This is our first baby. Baby died due to birth Asphyxia. We want to plan for our next baby ASAP. How long the gap you given between your uterus rupture to next pregnancy. What are all necessary treatments we should take before our next pregnancy... pls pls help us
I really want a vbac seeing but after hearing your story I’m so scared now but God bless you ! My c section was so traumatic I can’t do another.
I’m so sorry! I didn’t want to scare anyone by telling my story, I just wanted to inform women of what could happen, and what the doctors don’t tell you when you have a vbac. I pray you have a healthy, happy vbac!!
I recently had a successful vbac, it’s hard but totally worth it, knowledge is key as well as professional staff
Karen Peters . Well, you don't really have a choice. How many weeks are you.
Yes my c section was traumatizing as well never again.
I'm planning a vbac after 3 sections.
A couple hours after I had my third csection I started hemorrhaging which caused me to have to have a hysterectomy. I did decide to have my tubes removed during the csection. Afterwards I was really glad that I did. If I had had to have the hysterectomy hoping to have more babies I would’ve been crushed. It’s a hard thing to go through when you’re not expecting it.
I listened to your story with tears in my eyes I am so sorry this happened to you. Having babies is scary as you never know what can happen. But I pray for your speedy recovery and I hope that all goes well.
this is WILD. I'm just sitting here checking all the boxes for uterine rupture in my head. I know that hindsight is 20/20 but cmon. Dizziness with standing, nausea, intense shooting pain, scant urine... cmon. I am so sorry this happened to you and I'm glad you're doing well now.
I remember when I was young my mom had developed cysts in her uterus that caused her untold pain and, eventually, she had to have her entire uterus removed. I didn’t understand it then but it was a really emotional and painful thing she had to endure. As a mom myself now, going for a VBAC, I can really appreciate your experience and perspective. My OB told me she wouldn’t administer pitocin because it could be too harsh on my previously scarred uterus and if it came down to it she would insist that I would go through with a csection. I didn’t completely understand her concern until I came across your story. Not saying that’s what caused everything to happen for you in the first place! It’s just something that finally clicked for me I guess... because I’ve been so against another csection. Now, I think this has really helped me overcome a lesser fear. Thanks for the change in my perspective❤️
Он сказал, что вы так хотели. И теперь я только понимаю почему такое безразличие у зверей
exactly the doctor skipped the important detail of an explanation. I remember pulling an OB aside during my labour lasting 48 hrs and pushing for 4 hrs and then finally sitting her down and asking - tell us how it is in plain words, science only, do we push more and have this baby vaginally or its just not going to work and no point in forcing the issue. And she was a bit scared and basically said, yeah, it;s not going to happen, you should consider c section. But she wouldnt say it with others in the room due to liability probably. Glad we did that but would prefer not to go through everything for 2 days and not be able to eat at all during that time and still have a c section. hate the disrespect to womens bodies in the US, and the mechanical approach to bringing babies to this world.
@@annas7892it happens all over the world.Need admitt that in your country moms at hospitals are treated much better, people who had both experinces in thericountry and yours ,admire their labor with US doctors.
i had no idea this was a thing that could happen during delivery. thank you for sharing this. im sorry you have to go through this. youre an incredibly strong woman, those babies got a warrior of a momma.
My hospital won't induce for VBAC because it increases the risk of uterine rupture. It's hard to fathom how this team did not seem to take your symptoms and pain more seriously and connect the dots.
Induction has it's own risks, even without a previous section. When I had my first VBAC, both the doctor and I agreed I wanted no epidural and no induction, as induction can cause much stronger contractions than normal labor does, and I wanted to be aware of any unusual pain that might signal a uterine rupture. Ditto for my second VBAC.
For my first birth, a mid wife by mistake, gave me two doses of epidural, which completely stopped my contractions and my labour was arrested. I could not push nor did I dilate beyond 8cm. And I had to go for emergency C-section. PLEASE AVOID TAKING EPIDURAL AS LONG AS U CAN.
I’m pregnant with my second researching vbac stories and hearing your story broke my heart I am so sorry all of that happened to you, prayers to you and your beautiful family and hope you guys are happy and doing very well today❤️
did you delivered?your vbac is successed or not?
did you delivered?your vbac is successed or not?
@@komaloli8062 I ended up going into labor a week early, if I wanted a vbac I would’ve had to go to a hospital a little farther than mine so I just opted for another c section.
Ignore those people! You have had legitimate trauma. I am so sorry!
Sweetheart, make sure you get help for PPD. You've been through more than most. I hope things have gotten better since you've made this video.
It’s happened to me too my uterus ruptured and my baby got lack of oxygen which end up him to diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I can feel your pain am really sorry
God performed a miracle in saving you and your baby on your delivery day. It's so sad that you had to experience this. They need to be held accountable. I can't imagine how many women may have experienced negligence at that hospital. Also, your struggles should not be minimized because you have healthy babies. People just don't know what to say and just need to be quiet. You're allowed to feel sad and express your emotions. You've experienced trauma..
You are so strong and I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through, mamma. I cannot even imagine... I wish you the absolute best going forward with the situation you are in! Much love!!!♥️♥️♥️
Only 6-15% of uterine ruptures have devastating effects. I’m not sure why that doctor said otherwise. You are not selfish!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, beautifully delivered, but my heart goes out to you, wishing you to be fully healed x
Generally, inductions are not recommended with VBACs. It sounds like your birth team was incompetent. So sorry that you went through this!
Bladder & uterine damage or even death could have also occurred with a planned c-section. I work as an OB-Gyn & neonatal RN in a hospital and have been in this field for 30 years. There is no safe way to deliver a baby, whether vaginally or cesarean. Cesarean delivery has 10 times the death rate of vaginal delivery and VBAC is not any more dangerous than a c-section.
Scary stuff but yet god made our bodies to carry babies, I want kids in my future I’m 23 and hope to someday have kids but this shit is scary
i feel so bad for you i hope Thing's start to get better and just un option if you really really want to have another baby you could get a surrogate(someone who carrys your baby for you)Many people who can't carry a baby Themselves get a surrogate. i pray that everything will get better for you have a good day/night.
I am a nursing student who is currently learning about uterine rupture, and I just want to say thank you SO much for sharing your story. It’s truly amazing that you and your baby survived all of this trauma and are still healthy and alive.
I am an OB/Gyn RN. Please keep in mind that serious damage to the bladder occurs occasionally with c-sections as well. And uterine rupture can occur during pregnancy, not just labor. So please don’t fear vaginal deliveries more than c-sections, as they both carry serious risks.
The risk of mortality from A cesarean is higher than a vbac. But Ob/Gyns don’t want to take the additional time and attention it takes to closely monitor, as well as the lawsuit which can occur if the uterus ruptures. If the Ob does a c-section, it’s pretty hard to sue, no matter what happens. Also, a “rupture” is usually just a dehiscence or “window,” which causes no trauma. In some cases, yes, the “window” opens and baby escapes into the abdomen. But the chances of this occurring are less than the risks of a c-section. It makes me upset that OBs scare women into choosing a planned c-section. On the other hand, I understand if a mother makes this choice, but she should be fully informed, not scared into making her choice one way or another.
@@JennyLouRN I think women should listen to their doctors, not just a nurse's opinion. Also, statistics please? When I looked into vbac vs repeat c section, vbac was more risky for the baby than a c section. Not sure about the mom. This was almost 15 years ago. I didn't end up having another baby, so I never had to decide. Upside is I won't ever have to deal with know it all nurses in the maternity ward again. There was one very experienced nurse who was great, altho I didn't have much interaction with her, and one student nurse who was absolutely amazing. So maybe things are better now.
@@beckiehubley5798 repeat C-sections are more risky for the mother.
@@beckiehubley5798 the comment said c sections are more dangerous then vbac not repeat c sections. Small difference in the way it was written but makes a big difference.
Awwww, try to join a support group,so you can be emotionally supported. Also i think your uterus ruptured happened because you said you had a prior c-section, and with that being said,they wasn't supposed to do that. They could had try with the non hormonal water base instead. Because that was told to me when i went in at 39 weeks because i had an prior c-section as well. Those doctors at that hospital could had avoided all of this,by telling you the truth. Because you had a previous c-section. It's best to opt out to get the induction. I pray god bless you with more children in the future in Jesus name and you just keep the faith.
Thank you for your story and sharing your emotions. I’m due in August with baby number 3. I’m 39 and hoping for a VBa2C. We have had several losses and many struggles but I have 2 healthy children and currently growing another healthy baby. The decision to go the less risky route of repeat cesarean is looming, with 2 kids and a newborn I’d much rather avoid the surgery but I just don’t know. Nobody thinks they’ll be the one in 200 but it’s important to know the risks.
Thanks for sharing your story! Listened to every word. I can imagine the decision to have kids being taken away. First 2 births happened in hospital and this time we decided for home birth. Medical interventions and making my wife fit their timeline is what cause my wife go under the knife. Inducing her was a big mistake and the synthetic drug puts unnatural stress on uterus and it just spiraled from there. This time it's a HBAC 2 and have such peace about it. I am thankful for your story and will take away lots from it, almost like a "what signs to look out for" if that's okay to say. It's easy to think it's all rosey but you have to also plan for the unexpected.
Wow thanks the universe for that last o.b that looked out further for you and your family. I hope your recovery has been going better and you are feeling better everyday. You have been through alot damn girl. Strong mama!
Hi sweetheart, that last OB thank God for her and Jesus being by your side the whole time ! You know we put our faith in Drs and this story really upsets me because everyone was telling you differant stories . When they saw blood in your catheter the reaction should not of been it'll be ok!!!!!
I'm so deeply sorry your went through all this you went through hell and trying to trust these Drs.
I to had a hysterectomy at 28 years old I did have 2 beautiful daughters I to had no choice and it was very hard I feel your pain honey I am now 64 years old and my girls are my life the reason why I cherish every moment with them So what God has done was Bless me with my girls and 6 beautiful grandbb's. It's now June 4th and I hope your doing well honey my heart breaks for you because I feel your emotions ! Your feelings are real try to ignore horrible comments talk get it out stay around your family, love on those bb's. I pray for peace in your heart sweetheart I wish I was there to hold you and help your heart..love from a friend that understands...Camille..😘❤🙏🙏🙏
Your words are very comforting even to me who was just reading and has never gone through anything like this.
Whoa you’re so lucky to be alive momma! Definitely negligence on the entire birth team you had! I would be contacting a lawyer asap momma! As a EMT there’s even red flags I noticed that if it had occurred in my ambulance would have us saying rupture right away! I’m so sorry you went through this nightmare!
You are going to have to learn your "new" self and what the future holds. I hope you are surrounded by love and feel peace while you and your family are walking thru this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately the realities of life isn't always Rose's and we need to speak more about the thorns that are also there, the share so we are not so alone
Thank you for sharing your story. I am going for a VBAC after extensive research. After my first horrible induction that ended in a C section I’ve always said I would never be induced again. So if any point I need to be induced I will tell them to just take me straight to the OR. Keeping in mind that repeat C sections also do come with risks that no one talks about. I will only do it if I naturally go into labor. So sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this very personal story and making us aware of things to look out for. That hospital is extremely negligent and I hope you sued them!
Hi! How did your VBAC go?! Also going for a VBAC God willing, would love to hear your experience… thanks!
I also had a failed vbac almost 11 years ago... I had a banded uterus that they missed in alllll my ultrasounds... I ended up with a crash c section/hysterectomy, died on the table from blood loss, had 120 staples, a blood clot in my lungs, my daughter and I both had a collapsed lung, and we each spent a week in ICU... It was horrible and traumatic and I found out 2 days later, at 24yrs old that i had a hysterectomy and can't carry any babies of my own anymore...
Wow....I am so sorry. That is absolutely horrible! Having a traumatic birth can really have long lasting effects, I hope you’re doing better emotionally, I know how hard it can be to heal from things like this. I’m so glad that you and your daughter are ok! But I’m also so sorry that you had to have a hysterectomy, I’m still so broken over that and I’m not sure if that ever gets easier. Peace and healing to you ❤️
@@lifewithmarina4668 it does get easier with time... it never goes away, but you find acceptance in it... I am blessed to have my 2 beautiful kids and wonderful bonus daughter! If you ever need to talk or vent you can always message me!
@@lifewithmarina4668 my goodness I had same thing except they were able to save my uterus. Very I had to get 7 units of blood transfusion. Blood clit in lungs.My baby was not breathing and I ended in ICU then surgical ward. My baby was in nicu for 2 weeks I didn't get to see or hold her until 4 days later. We only have the one child and would love another but I am terrified of being in the same predicament or uterine rupture.
Very sorry to hear that.. Can you explain what you meant by having a banded uterus?
I had a c-section in 1995 where I nearly bled to death because of my uterus not contracting after delivery. The contractions after delivery stops you from hemorrhage. I had several VBACS after but my OB/GYN explained to me the risk in detail.
I even had to even sign a risk waiver before theyd agree to allow it and the DR agreed to take care of me. This shouldve all been explained to you and Im sorry they were negligent. It couldve cost your life. And having your right to have more children stripped from you at 27 is devastating no matter if you have 1 child or 4 if you wanted more in the future. I hope you're doing well and recovered physically. Unfortunately the mental and emotional issues may take longer. God bless
I found your video and I literally want you to feel my hug! I know about extreme experiences like yours and I started praying for you as soon as your video started. I’m asking Our Lord, Jesus Christ to put His healing hands on you and for His protection as you are guided through the up and coming surgery and recovery. Keep talking and sharing because you are not alone!! GOD bless you and your family!😇🙏🏼☝🏼
I’m liking and subscribing.
I'm so sorry that you went through that. I couldn't imagine going through that. The hospital you delivered at sounds like they really weren't careful. I don't understand why they induced you I've had 2 vbacs and I was told I had to go into labor completely on my own and they wouldn't do that. Honestly I would of probably sued that hospital. I wish you the best 🙏🏻🙂
I cried so much while Watchin this am pregnant. 35weeks am torn btw c section or normal delivery don’t knw wat to do
Thank you for telling your story. I attempted a VBAC in May and experienced a uterine tear and had an emergency c-section due to my babies unstable heart rate. I am so thankful for the doctors who were there and knew what was going on and acted fast. I labored at home for 12 hours in excruciating pain, assuming it was normal contractions.
You need to join a support group
Marina, I'm so very, very sorry that you had to go through all of this. I applaud your courage in sharing your story, many women will approach VBAC, with their eyes open thanks to your strength. I hope the negligent staff were held to account.
I notice mention of some people leaving hurtful comments - Oh my goodness that is so shocking, I can't even begin to understand how anyone could do that. Your story tore at my heart, and I can't really comprehend how anyone could react otherwise. May the love, prayers and support of all the genuine posts help you to heal a little, and may God's love flow over your whole family.
I am so so sorry. This is such a traumatic experience and I can’t believe these professionals ignored all of these red flags and warning signs. 100% not okay and really should be considered malpractice. My heart aches for you.
Geez, they almost sent you home. So scary. So happy you are your baby are OK.
Thank you for sharing your story. I was watching this video towards the end of my pregnancy. I had a breech baby so had 1 c section. My ob gyn was going to try a trial of labor but changed his mind at the very end when the ultrasound showed he was 10lb. So I had an elective c section. My baby boy ended up being 8lb 3 ounces, but the doctor that performed my second c section told me that I did not have scar tissue but that the uterus wall was so thin around the previous scar that they could see the baby through my uterus! So if I was going to go into labor my uterus would have definitely ruptured around the previous scar. So when the doctor did my c section she stitched the thin wall area together in half so when my uterus heals the wall becomes thicker for next pregnancy. I always felt the stretching during my pregnancy and felt that the uterus around the scar was stretched out hard that it was gonna tear, but I didn’t think much of it. I am so thankful I didn’t go into labor. The elective c section was awesome! It was like going to a doctor apt and fasting, during the surgery they played classic rock for me.
My advice to every woman reading this is that if you feel any pain or stretching of or around your uterus scar during pregnancy, just do the elective c section. Don’t worry about having complications later in life with future pregnancies, because the safety of your current baby that you have now is more important than having another c section. Because it was elective not emergency, I am healing a lot faster than my first emergency c section I had before.
Wow I’m so sorry to hear everything you went through. I found your video because I’m currently pregnant due in December. I had a c-section exactly a year ago and my new Ob asked me “if I was considering having a vaginal delivery with this pregnancy?” I didn’t even know that was possible for me. I got excited thinking “yay I can give birth without having a doctor cut me open.” So I started doing my research but after seeing your video it definitely gave me something to think about. Now I’m not so sure. Even if someone doesn’t want anymore children going through all that pain physically and emotionally is hard. No one should go through it. I hope you’re recovering well. Stay strong and congratulations on your baby girl. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️
Congratulations!! Thank you so much the kind words 💕
Did you have a successful VBAC?
Updates??
@@NaziVlogs8630 my sister had 5 children 1 c section and 4 VBAC so it's possible
I definitely want to drop a comment especially after watching this entire. You definitely deserve feedback. First and foremost thank you for being so brave and sharing your raw experience. You didn’t have to do all this but you did, and this video gives women such as myself an insight on what could happen during and after a vbac. Really really thank you 🙏🏽
Second of all god bless you. I know you have gone through so much but definitely am so happy you are here in this world with your 2 beautiful babies I don’t know who you are but you sure nough went through so much and I want you to know I am certainly moved by this video and I feel for you as a women honestly if you ever want to talk to someone about your feelings you may inbox me on any platform.
Im sorry that you went through all that and I hope that when you read this message you are already feeling better or atleast alittle better. It’s crazy to know at that point when your babies heart rate was dropping after blood in the catheter was noticed not one doctor or nurse decided to do something different. They just kept going. :/ I’m just really happy that you are here,again. I will keep you in my positive thoughts and I might follow you on Instagram if you have one...
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment, it was so kind. Thank you so much for the support 💕
Rupture is one of the biggest cons to VBAC, I can't believe they didn't talk to you about the risk prior or knowing you were a VBAC done more in the hospital when it ruptured! Negligent! I really hope you talk to a Dr about litigation
This is devastating. I can't even begin to imagine the pain and grief you are experiencing, no less having to do it all freshly postpartum, with a newborn to care for, AND a toddler. Even being done having kids, I would be absolutely devastated to be told I couldn't have more and, as you said, have that decision taken away from me without any choice. I am so terribly sorry you are having to walk this path. There are a few other mommies here on YT who have experienced what you did - I'm not sure if you follow Raising the Barrs, but you might find guidance and support if you reach out to her as she went through a very similar rupture of the bladder and uterus. My heart breaks for you, I wish I had better words to share :( Sending up a prayer for you and your continued recovery
Yes I love raising the Barrs! When all of this first happened I searched it here on UA-cam and it was so comforting hearing her story. There really aren’t a lot of UA-cam videos out there of women going through this so I’m so grateful that she shared her story.
Something similar happened to me last month. I was scared to try a VBAC because of how short I am and how big I carried. I looked like I was having twins. So I knew my daughter was gonna be a big baby just like her brother. When I was dilating at the hospital, the doctor checked my cervix and told me I have a narrow pelvis. I was worried that I wasn’t gonna be able to push her out but she said it doesn’t matter if I’m narrowed. What matters was the babies position. I trusted her and decided to still try for a vbac. They had me pushing for almost 3 hours! Her head came out my cervix but not her shoulders. I ended up getting a csection and during the surgery, the doctor told me “no more babies okay!?” she told me I had a lot of scar tissue from my first csection and that I would be at high risk of dying if I have another csection. I lost a lot of blood from all the pushing and scar tissue from my first csection. and needed a blood transfusion. Thankfully my uterus didn’t rupture. I felt fine afterwards. I didn’t feel pain on my scar and I was just happy. Then later that day I felt super nauseous and my lower back started aching and it hurt so bad that I was crying. They did a cat scan and they saw that my left kidney was swollen with urine because my ureter had a blockage. Then I had a procedure where they put a tube on my back into my kidney to drain my urine in a baggie which is called a nephrostomy catheter. The urologist told me that same day he wasn’t sure if the doctor accidentally stitched my ureter when she was stitching my uterus since I was losing a lot of blood or if it was the blood clot that they saw on the cat scan pressing on it. So he told me I had to keep the nephrostomy for two weeks. I had a procedure done two weeks later and my uterer is still blocked. The urologist said he saw solid tissue when he inserted the camera into my ureter so he wants to wait another three weeks to see if it opens up if not I have to get surgery where they cut off the blocked part and reattached my ureter to my bladder :(( I also asked another doctor at a clinic if I really can’t have anymore babies and she said I could but she wouldn’t recommend it because I could possibly die. I wanted one more baby too. I’m 28 years old :// so I feel you
This breaks my heart . Thank you for sharing your story , this will save lives . I’m at risk for uterine rupture because I had uterine surgery and the doctor recommended a c section . I was really hoping for vaginal birth , but this has me reconsidering . Thank you ❤
I cannot even imagine the pain you're in. I'm so sorry the signs of a rupture were ignored; that is unacceptable. Your story is sad and you are absolutely right that others cannot understand unless they're experiencing your situation. I'm praying for you to have all of the physical pain/surgery behind you. I know you said you many not be able to have more children, and I'm so very sorry for that..hugs & prayers. Lisa xoxo
Same happened to me💔
That actually pisses me off they ignored the signs of her uterus rupture like ugh 😩 Poor thing cannot imagine
@@miagamboa9449 why your uterine rupture?during vbac?
I am so sorry that this happened to you but I’m happy that both you and baby are healthy. I would like people who are watching to know that this is very rare though. I had a VBAC nearly two months ago and my babies were only 16 months apart. Unfortunately sometimes people don’t heal as they should but that is rare so I hope no one is discouraged in attempting a VBAC since It’s so much better than a repeat C-section (most of the time)!
I feel the same. I've had 2 VBACs; first one 18 mos. after my C-Section. But no epidural allowed, so I could tell if I was having any unusual pain (besides the vise-like GRIP of labor pains.)
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story. I think so many times we are not informed by doctors of the risks involved...By sharing your story you could be helping someone else out there avoid a similar fate.
Oh honey, I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. But am so glad your baby is doing so well. I went thru the same thing, loosening my choice to have more babies. I was bleeding and didn't know why. Not pregnant at the time. The Dr. I saw perked me around for so long, trying different things before I saw someone else for a second opinion. And by then it was too late. I had to have a hysterectomy. And was told if the first Dr. had done a certain. Procedure to begin with, it wouldn't have come to that. I was soon hurt and angry for so long. I wanted another baby. But couldn't any longer.So dear I def feel for you. And I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless you and your new baby.
My Uterus ruptured after my placenta came out after being held in labour for 5 days on morphine straight here in Canada. I feel your pain.
I’m so, so sorry that you’ve had this experience too. I hope you’re doing better after everything you’ve been through, I truly wish nobody on earth ever had to go through such a traumatic thing. Hugs 💕
In my country (where medicine is actually fucked up) it's forbidden to induce after CS or any surgery that leaves scar on the uterus because induced contractions are much stronger than the natural ones and there is a high risk of rupture or extreme bleeding. I know exactly because a friend of mine was sheduled for a cs after, i think, 40 weeks on case she wouldnt go into labour herself bc. her first son was born via. cs and they refused to induce her.
Thank you for sharing this video, you don't know how much you've helped me to make a decision... I wish you the fastest recovery...
Sending you so much love 🤍 I have been considering a VBACC and I'm so glad that you made this video because I need to know the risks of trying. God bless you and thank you for sharing your story.
My heart aches for you sweetie. Lots of love sent your way. 💔
I'm really sorry this happened to you. Until a few hours ago (i'm 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant), I was really optimistic about doing a VBAC. I just learned that my scar tissue is too thin at some places and that the risk for uterine rupture is even higher now (10%). I can tell you that I was so frustruted but hearing your story makes me be greatful that I know that before trying for one and having to possibly go through a lot of complications. We know about uterine rupture that doctors can catch and bring you to the operation room but we don't know about what you went through, and it's big. Thank you for sharing your story. Now that we are a year later, I hope you are at a better place. Thank you again!
hi ! just want to ask how you learned your scar tissue is too thin ?
I am currently 21 weeks for second baby and planning for a vbac too 25 months after my first csection.
with my first baby I had a failed induction and my baby’s heart rate was dropping so had to do emergency csection and after a week i found out I had post op complication - blood clots inside me and wound dehiscence so they had to do another procedure to manually remove all the clots inside me and put me in a device wound vac to help wound healing but dressing changes is every 2 days - was extremely painful (without any anesthesia only tylenol by mouth which didnt really help) which lasted for almost 2 months til my wound heal .
I’m traumatized to go for another surgery thats why Im considering vbac and my doctor seems optismitic but I’m unsure which route to go with all the risks. thanks in advance.
@@itsghelaigg5662 Hi, i’m sorry for what you went through. My son is 2 months now. I tried for a VBAC but unfortunately, we had an emergency c-section. Everything was going really well and I had an umbellical cord prolapse. We are doing good now but I had complications after the emergency c-section like you did unlike for my daughter, it was not an emergency c-section, they had time to prep. Big infected hematoma, drainage, another surgery, etc. From what I learned, emergency c-sections are high risk of complications. Thank God our lives are saved, it’s still really tough. I’m glad you are ok now!
For the scar, my doctor ordered the scan. It has to be done after 36 weeks because the uterus have to be really extended so they can have a good look. Good luck mama! You can do this!!Everything will be fine♥️
I wish they would of looked at my scare to see that mine was to thin🥺
@@lleslie17 how could they tell your scar was too thin
@@tatyanaharmon7566 Hi😊 they checked it at 37 weeks. I tought it was so late but I was tell that they have to check it when the uterus is really streched.
Just found your channel and I’m having my third baby this month and wanted to try for a vbac soooo bad after two c sections. I begged my doctors and cried and they were not on board. Watching this video,
Thank god they were not on board. Having my third c section and I’m at peace with it. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I’m so sorry.
Your story is almost identical to mine. The only difference is I delivered and started fainting right afterwards. They rushed me into surgery immediately for over 5 hours and several hundred sutures they still had to remove my uterus because they could not stop my bleeding. I had 3 blood transfusions over the next few days. It was a nightmare just like yours. I am glad you shared this, sometimes I feel like nobody can relate. I really think people need to be informed before deciding on natural vs c section. I had so much neglect in my prenatal care. Praying for your full recovery. So sorry!💔
Wow I am so so sorry that you’ve dealt with this too. It is a pain that nobody can understand unless they’ve been through it and I’m so sorry that you experienced it too. I’m so glad that you are ok!
OMG, perhaps I should consider another CS. I'm so sorry that happened. Wow. I will discuss again with my OB at my next visit.
Yes wow 😮 same here, I’m due oct 2021, it is currently September and I am also going to attempt a vbac, my midwife thinks I could be fine, she did tell me about the possibility of uterine tearing. This enlightens my thought process, thank you
@@daysiporto2877 Hello dear,,did you get a safe vbac,,am also planning to have it in April but am scared at least I need to hear some good news about someone who has done it before successfully please
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I pushed for two hours with my first and it ended up in a C section. Went back to the ICU 5 days later because of postpartum preeclampsia and I could not void my bladder. I was sent home after my blood pressure went down with a catheter too. Its horrible! Then I was told I would have to self catheter 6 times a day for three months until my bladder healed. It's terrible and my heart goes out to you. You want to enjoy your baby but you are scared to go out because you have to carry your bag of pee with you. I feel like a lot of hospitals do NOT focus on postpartum care for mom. Once the baby is out, moms are no longer the priority of care. I pray your situation gets better! I am expecting again and really wanted to try a VBAC but watching your video is making me think that's not the way I want to go. Stay strong momma!
That’s so true! Postpartum care is really not a priority it seems and it’s really a shame. I’m so sorry you had a catheter for three months, my gosh that is so hard! Congratulations that is so exciting! I’ll be praying for a safe delivery for you no matter what you choose!💕
My goodness Marina I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. It seems incredible that no one picked up your problems at birth. I hope that after your surgery that you have a speedy recovery and that you can have some semblance of normality in your life. I am truly sorry that you had to endure this but God speed your recovery and remember we are all here to support you.
Im so sorry this happened to you !
Im in the uk, the nhs is unbelievably shocking alot of the time..
I have 3 children. First two normal, spontaneous births, both before due dates, 7 pounds 5 and 7 pounds 8, just gas and air. 1st 8hr birth 2hr pushing, 2nd 6ish hour birth, 25 mins pushing.
So for my 3rd i really didnt think i would have any issues. Had a HB planned. Never teared of anything with the others, and only just made it with the second, so thought HB would be great.
My wifewife ignored all my red flags also for week ! Raised BP. Protein in urine, swelling, weight gain, head aches constant and vision loss a few times. I pleased something was wrong, i said she was big! She said nope 8 pound max! Baby was 10 pound 11!
So yea i had pre eclampsia, even at a home birth group my friend came to at about 36 weeks she said to the midwifes i think she has PE and i said also but nope nothing.
Week before birth, so 39 weeks i had rang up saying if i walk my eyesight goes funny, like im under water ! But again nope just chill for a few hrs and see if it goes.
I was begging to be made to go into labour, two previous kids i just knew. Anyway, lockdown hit those last few weeks. End of march wasnt it ? And i has her on the 16th april 2020. So so scary and thata why the wasnt watching properly, thats prob why the told me not to go up when the vision loss happend. Woke up on the 15th april, 40+2 i think., felt like i was going to die, like impending doom feeling, i was crying hysterical, told OH she needs to come up, shes not safe ect ect. Told midwife. Because of covid she didnt know if she had the clincal space to look! But she did get me the last appointment of the day, so 5ish for a sweep, done obs, urine and bloods and yea it was very bad PE worst bloods levels she had seen, i was so so poorly, got told if i hadnt managed to be seen and went sleep that night we prob would have both died..
Anyway, induction, break waters and drip, epidural (worst mistake, prob could have laboured better) PE oral meds didnt work, drip stopped working. 6cm thats all all distressed then emergency c sections. Meds for months, still health probs now. Just yea utter failure. I really would like another, but not sure i should.
One thing though, i really dont understand why they induced you though! From what ive read in the uk, they only like a VBAC if you go into labour yourself and wont induce with any meds like the drip. They have other things if needed that's better. Seems from what im reading VBAC if i go in labour myself or c section and induction ups the chance of a rupture. Could be wrong, just what im reading. So so scary. Bit rant from me but yea births can be traumatic and nearly 4 years on its still hard.
I understand your feelings at the end but risks go up significantly with each C-section which is why wanting a larger family can be a reason to try to have a VBAC. Uterine rupture is a real risk but so is placenta accreta. Accreta is also life threatening to mother and baby. Unfortunately there is no one choice that has zero risk.
The risk of uterine rupture after once c section is about .07%. Unfortunately someone ( like her for instance ) has to be that .07
I have had 2 c sections , vaginal birth at 23 weeks pregnant and then another c section. I am attempting vba3c when I go into labor with my baby girl. I am 32 weeks along and my doctor is very confident that it will be successful. He delivered my last two babies so he knows my medical history very well. He said it didn’t look like I had had multiple c sections let alone one section. That being said I’m so thankful my ob is supportive because placenta accreta is so dangerous !! I wish more doctors would tell women about the risks of c sections and having multiple back to back without even trying to do a vbac. I wish I would have known all the risks before I decided to have my second c section just because I had one with my first & didn’t want to push my son out 🙄🥴
I’m the past 4 years a lot of new research has come out that the risk is not necessarily higher when you’ve had multiple sections. They did a study on 89 women who had 3 or more sections and wanted to attempt vbac. Every single one of them had a successful delivery .
@@isis_nailedit7094 good luck with your upcoming VBA3C! I’m so glad you have a supportive provider. It makes all the difference! ❤️
@@mariafordon121 having a supportive provider is very important & knowing what to look out for is also super important. Thank you so much for this video and all the information you have provided. Now I know some symptoms to look for during my vba3c and will definitely make sure I speak up about it being more serious if I do experience any of it. Again I am so so sorry you lost your uterus. When I had my son Liam they thought I had an accreta and told me they’d likely have to do a hysterectomy. The thought of losing my uterus after just losing my son was devastating. Even if you don’t want anymore just knowing you no longer have the option is the worse feeling in the entire world. Luckily my placenta came out just fine & I was able to have my son and now my daughter.
God bless you ! I’m a labor and delivery RN , so happy you and your baby are here and ok ! 💕
Had you heard of Aniball or Epi-no Delphine Plus birth facilitating devices? Do not discuss at work though... More on my UA-cam channel.
My heart goes out to you! You are so brave and so strong to share your story. So many others will be helped just from you sharing your story. Praying for you and the future ahead of you.
I hope you see my comment being as this video is 2 years old, but my question is how far apart were your deliveries?
Sending all the positivity your way. I hope you’re feeling much better now. I’m so sorry for what you had to go through. ❤️
Don't ever do Pitocin when attempting on VBAC
Omg I teared up watching this. My prayers are with you. I’m so glad that the second OB recommended a specialist. I’m sorry you experienced this. Thank you for sharing because this truly informs and will help others.
Thanks that helps me a lot i was planing to have vbac but now i want to think twice before act i pray for you and your family quickly recovery God is label to do things beyond doctor knowledge bless you
I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m pregnant w #2 and for a while after my 1st I was adamant on a VBAC but for the past year after research and based on my body a VBAC isn’t safe at all, especially being induced and all that medication makes the probability of a rupture so high. Out of all this trauma comes tons of learning experience
Absolutely, that is why I wanted to share my story with others, so that others can learn too and hopefully never experience what I went through!
My daughter had a VBAC, it was 3 years later but she had no problems. I guess she was lucky.
VBACs can be safe, however there is increased risk for rupture with augmented labor. There has to be close observation and monitoring of mom and baby which obviously didn’t happen in this case. As a nurse I am sorry that you weren’t not treated well and that no one on the medical team prevented your complications. 🥺
Your feelings are completely VALID!
