My first was a c-section in '84. My second was VBAC in '92. It's funny how sometimes all the "statistics" seem backward. The first was after 20hrs labor and 3 weeks late. The VBAC took only 4 hours, had great drugs, and was only a day early. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about all this crap anymore.

My firstborn son was delivered via emergency C section (unexplained bleedout) in '97, my youngest son was a successful VBAC in '99. I don't understand why someone would WANT to get cut open a second time. (Course with my luck I had to have an episiotomy with youngest son so stitch count was about the same but still...)

As for 3 weeks, yikes. I couldn't imagine waiting that long. Both of my sons were born 3-4 days after their due date. That was wait enough for me. :)

My first Cesearean was in 1993, had a VBAC in 1995, (15 days overdue) and had another Cesearean in 1997. Doubly glad not to have to worry about this crap anymore!

Your experience sounds like mine:). Both mine were C section, the first after 24 hours labor, pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure....The second, extremely easy. Altho not having a normal birth to compare too, I didn't think the C section was all that painful, or hard to recover from. It wasn't any worse then the labor anyway.
