| Posted: 12/02/07 15:02:21 21 | | I had an emergency c-section with my first son (7 years ago) and then was advised to have a c-section with my second son (2 years ago). Although it was only on advice after my first son I was so scared of a repeat I just did not know what to do. I would really love to have a third child byt am put off by yet another c-section, is there anybody out there would has had VBACs + 2, or should I just accept that it is the only way! |
