My DD got stuck during the pushing stage. Has anyone else had this happen to them and then had a VBAC with their next child?

I would like to have a lots of kids, but I might not if I have to have a lot of surgery.

My DS got stuck when I hit 7cm, so not quite pushing, I plan on having a VBAC this time around.

DS got stuck at pushing. The cervix kept coming down and swelling. My c/s was to avoid a high forceps delivery. I think, from what i've read, I have a very good chance of vbac. :yes:

Each birth is different, and even when 2 births might be similar (like with my DS3 & DS4), it still doesnt mean you cant have a different outcome with different models of care, or different birthing techniques being used. I was told twice that my babies were stuck, and my first was posterior, and considered 'stuck'. I went onto have a vbac after each of those caesareans.

To manipulate your baby's position in the womb and during birth, these sites might give you some ideas:

Usually just doing your homework, practicing prevention, and trusting that your body works perfectly is all you need to lead you to a great birth experience....worked for me :thumbsup:
