Hi ladies, just found out I am pregnant with my 3rd child after having my 2nd baby 8 months ago by emergency c section. My regular OBGYN warned me a few months ago that If I became pregnant within 2 years she would book me for another section and wouldn't allow me to even chance a normal delivery. The c section was so horrific I really never want to have another so I am looking for a new doctor who will encourage me with VBAC. Also, I am still breastfeeding and want to continue but the 2 non western doctors I called today said "it's not good"
And advised me to stop. Can anyone recommend a good doctor who will let me decide what's best for me and my family? I hate arguing! Thanks in advance

i would try dr christian josza if you're not deterred by male doctors. my first was an emergency c section that was so traumatic for me, i could not bear the thought of another one.

Obviously many people breast feed and are pregnant so the two doctors you saw are complete numskulls ... How would the human race survive if people couldn't nurse two babies - they didn't always have formula! I saw Dr George at Genesis and he gave me a VBAC because, like you, I found the csection completely horrific. Until the last week, we were trying everything to avoid a csection and eventually I had a natural delivery.

You should find one that follows the most current guidelines. It depends on the type of your c-section incision. If your doctor is most up to date with current guidelines, she would advise you on what is best for depending on the type of incision you had. I would ask about the risks and benefits of a VBAC and ask the doctor of you are a candidate for a VBAC because not all patients can qualify for a VBAC. Nursing is not contraindicated in pregnancy, but ask your doctor about the pros and cons. Good luck! ;)

My BFF had a very successful VBAC with Dr Koster. She also had a Doula (Elizabeth Bain) and I think that maybe helped as well. I hope it all goes well for you and you can have the birth you want x
