Scared of a VBAC but another C section recovery sounds dreadful 😭
Hi all, I just had a growth scan at 36 weeks, baby is measuring 7lbs 15oz, so basically 8lbs, 97th percentile and greater than 99th percentile for her abdomen.
I had a c section with my first because I got scared of shoulder dystocia and he measured 9lbs 5oz at like 37 and 5 days.
This time I wanted to try for a VBAC, but the doctors sound like they are leaning towards wanting me to have a scheduled c section. They calculated my trial of labor after c section (TOLAC) success rate and they said it was 56%…
I’ve been on insulin since week 12 of this pregnancy, with my first I didn’t get on it until I was diagnosed with GDM at 28 weeks so I’m surprised she is still measuring this big. If my math is correct, i would estimate she will be at 8lbs 12oz by 37 weeks, and 9lbs 8oz by 38 weeks…
Any advice? Would you still try for a VBAC?
