Girls, I had a c section back in March. If I got pregnant again in 2 years from now would I possibly have another c section?

It is possible to have a vaginal birth after a c section, but equally as possible to have another c section. It mostly depends on why you had the c section in the first place. If it was due to something like preeclampsia, then it’s likely that you’ll have another c section, as preeclampsia is twice as likely in your next pregnancy.


This is something that you should discuss with your doctor or a midwife, and hear about your options. With a second c section it can be planned rather than emergency, if your one in March wasn’t planned.

I had one because my baby was 9lbs.

So your baby got stuck or what? Size if baby doesn’t = c section. Usually just means that you get an episiotomy?

Your obstetrician would be the best person to ask this. 😊
