i had a c-section with my first baby.....?
Answers:
It depends on why you had the c-section in the first place and also how you were cut for the procedure. It is not unheard of to deliver naturally after a c-section so talk to your doctor to find out if you are a candidate for a vaginal birth. No one here can tell you that since we don't know your pregnancy/delivery background...only your doctor can give you the answer.
Other Answers:
Eh, most likely. Caesareans are usually because you can't get dilated enough for the baby to come out, or else they wanted to come out sideways...it's not a definite yes, but, I know many women who have had multiple C-Sections. Sorry!
yes, the probability is very high... but there is still a slight chance that u will again.. and this depends on the cause of ur C-section... Probably good idea, but ask your physician.
it is possible...normally thats the case!
That's your choice. They used to say that once you had one, you'd always have to, but that's not the case anymore. I would suggest going through the actual experience of giving birth. I don't mean to sound bad, but when you have a c, you miss out on alot.Not necessarily. It is up to your doctor and what kind of procedure was done the first time. I had one c-section and the next was natural. It all depends on the pregnancy and what the doctor thinks is the best. Usually. Doctors aren't usually willing to let you try and deliver vaginally once you've had a section. Some of it is because it's easier on them since they can "schedule" your delivery, but there also could be complications. It depends on why you were sectioned the first time. Try getting a second opinion. Maybe with a midwife, or a doctor that's more open to the idea? Good luck with the pushing, and best wishes on a smooth delivery whatever option is taken.
You probably will have another c-section. Most physicians don't like to perform VBAC's (vaginal birth after cesarean) because the risk of harming you or the baby are too high. In some cases you may find doctors willing to perform a VBAC, but you MUST ask.
i had a vaginal birth with my first and a c-section with my second. the doctor told me if i had another child, i could go either way, as long as i waited two years between the pregnancies. ask your doctor he would know best. i don't know why you had to have one with your first. best of luck with your new baby : )It depends on why you had a cesaran i had one with my son and my doctor said i could have my next child vaginally. so just consult your ob when you are pregnant.

my own experanice It is rare that any woman who has had a cesarean to automatically need a repeat cesarean. Most reasons for doing them are non-repeating, including CPD (pelvis too small for baby). Barring individual circumstances, the general answer is no, you should not need another cesarean. Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) is safer and more rewarding for most women. I copied and pasted some resources from a similar question that I answered - hope they work. Start now and read and learn so that by the time you decide to have another baby you will know the benefits and risks of both options (VBAC vs C/S).
Good luck!

Until fairly recently "once a caesarean, always a caesarean" was an obsterical edict, engraved in stone - or rather in the uteruses of women who;d had one or more surgical deliveries. It is now recognised that, for most women, repeat caesareans need not be considered routine and that Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) is generally worth a try, at least under the right circumstances. Experience shows that 70-80 percent of women who have had caeareans are able to go through a normal labour and vaginal delivery in subsequent deliveries. Even women who have had more than one caesarean or are carrying twins have a good chance of being able to deliver vaginally, as long as the proper precautions are taken.
Whether or not you will be able to try VBAC will depend on the type of uterine incision made in your precious c-section and the reason your baby was delivered surgically. If you had a low-transverse uterine incision (across the lower part of the uterus) as 95 percent of women do today, your chances of succeeding at VBAC are good; if you had a classic vertical incision (down the middle of your uterus) as was popular in the past, and is still occasionally needed, you will probably not be allowed to attempt a vaginal delivery because of the risk of uterine ruprture. If the reason for your c-section was one that isn't likely to repeat (fetal distress, premature seperation of the placenta, faulty placement of the placenta, infection, breech, preeclampsia) it's very possible taht you can try for a vaginal delivery this time. If it was a chronic disease (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease) or an uncorrectable problem (a badly contracted pelvis, for example) you will probably require a caesarean. Don't rely on your recollection of the type of uterine incision you had or the reason you needed a caesarean last time - check, or have your practitioner check, the medical records of your prior casearean delivery.

'What to expect when you are expecting' by Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg and Sandee Hathaway - a book I highly recommend buying.
it all depends on why you had to have a c section to begin with. if it was because you have too narrow hips then yes you will have to have one again if that wasnt the reason then you have a good chance of having a vaginal next time

me personal experiance i have had babies both ways. No - you have to consider the reason why you had a c-section. If the only reason why you had a c-section was because your baby was breech (did not turn head down) - well, that is not consider a complication and therefore, you should be OK for your second. I had my first c-section and the second was natural... So, it depends your situation, if you are diabetic., if you had "serious" reasons for having the c-section, then you might have to go through it again...
