I'm so sorry that some of you have experienced tough births as well. Hugs to you all. <3 Magda, the risk of a re-occurring rupture is higher (around 6%) and the risk of other complications (such as placenta acreeta..) goes up as well. We are not sure what our future looks like with that yet :) Thank you all for the love and support. I’m so sorry that some of you have experienced tough births as well. Hugs to you all. <3

It sounds like you KNEW something was wrong at the beginning of your labour yet this was ingnored in the hospital and they were treating the birth as a uncomplicated VBAC. And yet you had all the classic signs of having a rupture. Why did they advise not to have any more children? After all, a rupture is = to having a section, and it is perfectly fine to have children following 2 or more sections? I am so pleased you and baby are well.

What an amazing story! And what a huge blessing that you are both still here. Sounds like you had a really great team, and that is one of the best things that you need, a team to depend on at times like those. Wishing you a wonderful time enjoying mommyhood with TWO kiddos (more if you so desire)! (((hugs))) Wow! What an amazing story! And what a huge blessing that you are both still here.

I am a CBAC mama, too, and I cried reading your story. I know what you mean about breastfeeding being so important--I struggled with my first son after my c/s, too and was so grateful it went well after my CBAC. Hope your recovery continues! You're such a strong mama. thank you so much for sharing your story! I am a CBAC mama, too, and I cried reading your story.

One of my children was an every second counts emergency c-s for transverse position and full cord prolapse, so I remember only too well what it's like to go under for a C-section not knowing whether my baby will be alive. I'm so very, very glad that both you and your baby made it. We don't take that for granted, do we. My best friend had a stillbirth just a few weeks after my own baby almost died in the aforementioned birth. So I also know the survivor guilt. It has been 21 years since my first traumatic birth ~ I've dealt with PTSD related to that birth trauma. Processing and grieving and healing are all part of my journey now. So many of us share this journey ~ we are never alone. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Typing through tears ... ~KarlaW Andrea, my heart aches when I think of all you went through.

The delivery did not go as expected and you never got your perfect delivery but yes you both survived. What a miracle life is. When I gave birth to my 2nd child the lady in the room next to me had UR and her baby did not make it, that was 11 years ago. I think of her often and I think of how her daughter should be doing the things my daughter is doing. Blessings to you and your family. Congrats on a wonderful little family.

I am so happy your little boy is so healthy and is nursing so well. He is such a cutie! I am very sorry for everything you had to go through. Time is a great healer, which I found out after I had an emergency c-section with my last baby, who's now 5 y.o. It takes a while to process everything, especially the unexpected. Prayers and ((hugs)) to you as you sort everything out. Thanks again for sharing! ~Karen Thank you for sharing your story. I am so happy your little boy is so healthy and is nursing so well.
