to have a VBAC if I have a T cut on my uterus?
I had my daughter via c-section. Something that I was not happy about in the beginning and feel even worse about after reading a few of the threads on here. I did all of the classic things to cause the c-section, and I now realize this. I went to the hospital when I was in early labor, I opted for the epidural and I laid in bed the whole time. Well, my daughter's head wouldn't engage and my labor basically stopped. Plus, her heart rate would drop whenever they gave me any pitocin, so that was out of the question. Anyway, she was so high up whenever they went to perform my c-section that the doc had to cut a T on my uterus in order to get her out. And, I KNOW that natural childbirth couldn't hurt any worse than that c-section did! The docs were jumping on me in order to get the baby down to pull her out. Also, there was merconium in my fluid, so they were pretty concerned about that.
So, am I destined to have a c-section again as my doc says or could I possibly be a VBAC candidate?
