C section with Extensions: to TOLAC or not?
I had a CS back in 2019 for my first child so 7 years ago. I had labored and dilated to 10 and pushed for so long but she wasn’t descending as she was sunny-side up. After reading my post OP report, I noticed them mentioning “there were extensions that she is not candidate for VBAC.” I’m guessing when they were reaching down to get to her my scar ripped a bit down but not sure how many and how big.
Fast forward 7 years I’m finally pregnant again (after IVF) and with a new OB clinic. The OB I saw was basically implying “u can try to labor if you want and we can take it by ear” but didn’t give reassurance that it’s super safe or super risky so it’s up to me?? Anyone ever labor and deliver post 1 CS that had extensions? My fear is I would labor again and then end up needing another CS again. At that point I would rather just schedule a calm and planned out CS from the get go. But I have no idea how “extensive” by extensions are and if it’s worth the risks? Any and all personal anecdotes are welcome ❤️
