Question about planned c-section

I am faced with a dilemma. Do I do a repeat c-section with the second child
or VBAC. C-section for first birth due to breech baby after labor and
contractions started, no pushing - 6 cm dialted then nurse felt feet, then
c-section.

My question is....how does the body know the baby is out and breasts ready
to produce milk? I am wondering this because the baby is not ready to come
out just yet as labor had not started.

Thanks in advance

I think, it has to do with the removal of the placenta. It signals
the hormones to start the breast milk making process.

I could be wrong though.

That is absolutely correct. Retained placental fragments can cause the milk to
fail to come in, in fact.

Go for a VBAC. Get the facts, don't be scared, and try it.

I've had 3 c-sections. I used to be the Queen of C-sections here, till my
3rd. It was planned before I was even pregnant and it went wrong.

If you have that 2nd one, you'll be locked into having c-sections. Yeah
some Drs are okay with a VBAC after 2 c-sections, but it ends up being
easier to just do what you know. Don't risk it. If you want more
children, try the VBAC. I now can only have 4 children, and I got 3 Drs'
opinions before deciding it was safe to TTC #4. Do you want to have to do
that?

You'll do what you want but I can't stress enough how much I wish I hadn't
been a big chicken now and had tried a VBAC after my first c-section.

As for the milk, with all 3 it came in on day 5. It will come in.

It's a personal choice. The primary concern with VBAC
is the risk of uterine rupture, which is slightly increased
when compared with the risk of uterine rupture in a woman
who's had a previous vaginal birth. It is apparently, however,
not higher than the risk of rupture in a first birth as long
as you avoid induction or augmentation of labor. Your having
labored before and the fact that your previous c-section wasn't
for anything that would be likely to cause trouble again are
definitely factors in your favor for a VBAC. Most studies
show that upwards of 70 percent of VBAC attempts are successful,
and your history makes your chances of success probably even
higher.

I believe it's the removal of the placenta.

I am wondering this because the baby is not ready to come
out just yet as labor had not started.

Even if you choose a repeat c-section, you can

always wait until labor has started to do it. That way
you know that the baby is ready to come.

Are you going for a vbac this time Sophie? What happened isn't likely
to happen again, though, right? What caused it?

Oh my goodness no, I absolutely can not go into labor.

What's not likely to happen? What went wrong was I had no anesthesia.
Better not happen again - lol.
My uterus was pretty thin when I had my last c-section. 3 Drs said it would
be safe to have another just my scar will have to be monitored, and maybe an
early c-section.

As it is now I'm on Day 35. I'd just like to get AF so I can get on with
month #2

I thought you had it but it did not work? I was asking if it was
likely that it wouldn't happen that way again.

Oh I am confused! i thought you were already pregnant. Well not much
longer I think ;o)

I think it was the fault of the anesthesiologist, not my reaction to the
anesthetic. He was too interested in the surgery and not me. So *we'll*
have to make sure it doesn't happen again. I will get started with an OB
from the get-go and make sure *everyone* is aware of what happened last
time. If we don't go to a civilian Dr instead.

Nah, not yet. Wacky cycle plus Dylan's away - surprise - lol.

I remember that your 3rd c-section was pretty bad. I didn't realize
that you were thinking this way. {{{{{{{{{Sophie}}}}}}}}}}


Don't risk it. If you want more
children, try the VBAC.

This is my problem. I only want 2 children, and I planned to have
tubal after I give birth to this child. If I was planning to have
more, I would have the VBAC because I know that they don't like to do
more than about 2-3 c-sections.

My dilemma is this: do I go with what I know. I am not afraid of
another c-section. I know what to expect. Or do I try a VBAC and
possibly fail and have to have a c-section anyway? I am afraid that I
will fail and end up being cut anyway.

I am leaning towards a repeat c-section at the moment.
