Does anyone regret having a VBAC

Im just wondering if anyone has ever regretted having a VBAC, and why.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 03:59 PM
Kind of. I've had incontinence problems since my VBAC, it's been a real eye opener. After my c-sect I had absolutely no changes down below, now even when I do pee it's...different. It's tricky to explain but before I could empty my bladder in a few seconds, little trickle afterwards and I was done. Now I sit and it sort of just dribbles out at it's own pace, no bearing down and getting it out quicker. It's no biggie but in the middle of the night when you want to just do a quick pee then go straight back to bed, by the time you've sat...and sat...and sat you're awake. Poo's are different too. DS was a forceps delivery so that may have played a part too.
I guess it's to be expected that things change. At the time it was something I was very keen to have as I had a very clingy 20 month old and I was worried about coping with a new baby and a c-sect as well. Not REALLY sure I'd choose it again.

I thought it was fantastic having a VBAC. So fantastic that I had to give it another go.
Just a comment on the PP - your pelvic floor is weakened by pregnancy too. It's not just the birth. And after each consecutive pregnancy it is weakened a bit more.

My best friends sister kind of regrets hers. She had it with no pain relief and had a vacuum extraction,episomy and all others kind of intervention. She told me she suffered like a animal, it was horrible and if she was to have a 3rd, it will be a c section. If she knew in advance what she had to go through to have her little girl she would've defintely gone c section. I'm still so proud of her for doing it and am kind of jelous (I never had a vbac even though I should've with my second...anyway...).

I had this after my first which was a vaginal delivery. I suffered incontinence for 12 months and the pee trickled as well. There was no damage down below after baby #2 and #3 which were both C/S. I had no incontinence and was peeing normally. It wasn't the pregnancy that did it, it was the birth and pushing hard for a long time because he got stuck.
Sorry OP, I haven't had a VBAC but wanted to reply to the PP.

I haven't had a vbac but just wanted to recommend that anyone who is even slightly concerned about their pelvic floor find a women's health physio.
They can assess, advise and work out a personalised program to improve pelvic floor function.
Don't just put up with it!

Perhaps, I have read that before. But there was no change during my first pregnancy, not even a tiny bit. But a huge one after my second. I'm not 100% buying the 'it's the PG not the delivery' argument.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 05:28 PM
I've just seen this that says there does appear to be some connection.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 05:38 PM
I loved my VBAC, loved it. And would do it again in a flash. Mine was drug free and I had an episiotomy and a forceps delivery.
My pelvic floor and everything else downstairs works fine and my recovery was awesome.
Posted 10 February 2013 - 06:16 PM
Not to derail the thread OP, but it seems as though your biggest (?only) regret with the VBAC relates to the continence issues you are experiencing, so...
Regarding the discussion about whether it is the pregnancy or birth which causes incontinence, when I was at uni (nine years ago.... so yes, there could be more recent research) I remember learning that it was 1 in 3 women who had ever had a child who would experience continence issues, and that figure was equal among VB and c-sect which is what leads to the conclusion that it is the pregnancy itself rather than birth which creates the issue (think about it - 4kg or so sitting on the muscles day in day out slowly stretching them...?). However, birth trauma (prolonged second stage, tearing, episiotomy, vacuum etc) are known additional risk factors.
I would second a PPs point about seeing a women's health physio to assess and assist you. You can find one via the 'Find a Physio' feature on the Australian Physiotherapy Association's website (here). Look for one with post graduate women's health qualifications if possible, and/or a member of the women's health special interest groups. If finances are an issue, then speak to your GP about a referral (there may be an option for *some* medicare rebate, but not much), or seek a referral to a public hospital which provides birthing services as they would have a women's health physio on staff.
Good luck

Current research seems to suggest otherwise. From the urology times:
Vaginal delivery increases incontinence risk up to 20 years later
Publish date: APR 25, 2012 Print
Compared with women who deliver via cesarean, women who deliver vaginally are 67% more likely to experience urinary incontinence up to 20 years after the birth and are almost three times as likely to be incontinent for more than 10 years, Swedish researchers report.
Vaginal delivery increases both the likelihood of incontinence and the probability that the condition will be of long duration, say the authors, who reported their findings online in BJOG (March 14, 2012).
Obstetrician-gynecologists from Sahlgrenska Academy at Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden and Södra Älvsborgs Hospital, Borås, Sweden conducted a registry-based national cohort study involving more than 5,000 primigravidas who delivered a single infant between 1985 and 1988 and had no subsequent births. The results revealed that 40.3% of the women who delivered vaginally experienced urinary incontinence versus 28.8% of those who delivered surgically (odds ratio [OR], 1.67; 95% CI, 1.45-1.92). In addition, 10.1% of those who delivered vaginally were incontinent for more than 10 years versus 3.9% of women who delivered surgically (OR, 2.75; 95% CI, 2.02-3.75).
No differences existed with regard to urinary incontinence between women who had an acute cesarean delivery and those who had the procedure electively, indicating that the fetus passing through the pelvic floor in the late stage of delivery increases the risk of urinary incontinence later, the authors wrote.
Also, the risk of urinary incontinence in obese women was more than twice that of normal-weight women after vaginal delivery and more than triple that of normal-weight counterparts after cesarean delivery. In addition, the prevalence of urinary incontinence was 10% higher in women aged ≥35 years at delivery compared with women aged

University of Gothenburg (2012, March 25). Incontinence 20 years after child birth three times more common after vaginal delivery. ScienceDaily. Retrieved February 10, 2013, from http://www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2012/03/120325102613.htm

While the pregnancy itself does influence pelvic floor changes, it seems women who have had difficult vaginal births, or of larger babies, are over represented in the group of women who go on to have incontinence issues.
There was a similar thread some time ago, and I was shot down for suggesting this, even though when I worked in an incontinence clinic, there was no doubt that the women there had been influenced by their vaginal births.
It seemed the ones who were left to push for longer than an hour faired worse than those who had assistance in the delivery of the baby after an hour of pushing, or those that pushed their babies out in under an hour..
But it still wouldn't make me want to have a section just to prevent the chance of incontinence. I had an assisted delivery after pushing for an hour, and as yet, have no problems.
It's when menopause hits that a lot of women's pelvic floor problems appear, so many of us of childbearing age may not be experiencing the problems related to birth yet.
Something to look forward to.
Agree totally- see a women's health physio.

My VBAC resulted in a 4.2kg baby and a 4th degree tear. Worth every second, zero regrets here. My "downstairs" was completely back to normal after 6 weeks despite the damage! So, so, so worthwhile for me.

It would for me. Two c/s here, and not a problem or a care. (Apart from some saggy skin, but that's totally cosmetic and not functional, and could have happened after a VB anyway.)
My 2nd PG I ended with a fundal height of 44cm!!. I was massive. I had a huge and ridiculous amount of fluid. In those last weeks the pressure on my bladder was constantly painful. As soon as they took that baby out through the sunroof, my bladder was back to normal.
If there was ever a 3rd, the risks of prolapse, incontinence and sexual dysfunction would push me to ERCS, (far more than any tiny risk of rupture.) I wouldn't choose it as a primigravida, but I think these risks are really relevant to the VBAC/ERCS plans of women.

Did you only want to hear from women who regret their VBAC, OP?
Posted 08 March 2013 - 06:27 PM
A balance perhaps?
Posted 08 March 2013 - 06:39 PM
Never for one second have I regretted my VBAC. I do regret the two c/s I had. I have big babies and gain a truckload of weight. I also worked in a very physical job until the week prior to birth with all 3 of my kids. I don't have any issues aside from ones caused by the caesareans.
Posted 09 March 2013 - 11:14 PM
I regret it in that it didn't go well. But I didn't know that was going to happen so I don't regret trying. Its a hard question to answer as it depends on how it goes.... I opted to have a ceaser with my 3rd though based on my experience, even though the OB was happy for me to try again.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Michael Redd put aside his friendship with
former teammate Ray Allen to help the Milwaukee Bucks end Seattle's
three-game winning streak.
Redd scored 35 points on 14-of-25 shooting and played tough
defense on Allen, leading the Bucks to a 99-73 victory over the
SuperSonics on Sunday.
"Personally, it wasn't about Ray and me today," Redd said.
"It was about Milwaukee and the Sonics."
Allen, a fan favorite for more than six seasons with Milwaukee,
scored 16 points on 4-for-16 shooting in his first game at the
Bradley Center since being traded on Feb. 20, 2003, by then general
manager Ernie Grunfeld for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason. Kevin
Ollie, Ronald Murray and a draft pick were also dealt to Seattle in
a move that current general manager Larry Harris called one of the
most devastating trades in Bucks' history.
Allen missed last season's return to Milwaukee while recovering
from a right ankle injury.
The last Seattle starter to be announced, Allen received a
rousing welcome that could have gone longer had the Bucks not
started their own pre-game video introductions.
"There was a little outside motivation today because a lot of
people miss Ray in the Milwaukee area," said Redd, Allen's
teammate for more than two seasons. "It's well deserved because he
was here for a while and was great here."
Allen, who earned three of his five trips to the All-Star game
while with the Bucks, was aware of the circumstances of his return.
"It was a very weird feeling, I'm not going to lie to you,"
Allen said after finishing eight points below his scoring average.
"My emotions were torn a little bit."
Eligible for free agency at the end of this season, Allen has
yet to agree on a contract extension with Seattle. There is also
speculation that Allen might be willing to listen to what the Bucks
would offer.
The only problem in that scenario is Redd. The Bucks traded
Keith Van Horn and Michael James before the deadline and freed up
salary they plan to use to sign Redd, the 43rd pick in the 2000
Allen knows that reality.
"It will be a very slim chance, because Mike is their No. 2
guard," Allen said. "We play the same position. What Mike does
and I do are similar. You wouldn't want that position to be
overblown like that would be."
Mason had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Joe Smith added 16
points as the Bucks limited the Sonics to a season-low 29.4 percent
shooting from the floor.
The Sonics had their lowest point total of the season, six
points less than their Nov. 17 game at New Jersey.
The other Sonics in double figures were Murray with 11 points
and Antonio Daniels with 10.
Seattle, which has the fourth-best record in the league,
struggled from the start. The Sonics' previous shooting low was
32.5 percent (31-for-85) at Houston five days ago.
The Bucks had lost three of the last five.
After watching their 21-point lead shrink to nine points late in
the second half, the Bucks regrouped.
Redd sparked the charge with 10 points, including a fast-break
dunk after a steal that capped a 12-2 run that gave Milwaukee a
75-52 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Danny Fortson's basket with 10:15 left to play narrowed the gap
to 16 points at 77-61 -- but the Sonics got no closer the rest of
the way.
Mason scored 13 points as the Bucks opened a 31-10 lead. The
Sonics missed their first nine shots before Reggie Evans made a
layup with 6:29 left.
The Bucks played their best defense of the season as Seattle
went 3-of-23 from the floor and tied its season mark for fewest
points in a quarter with 10, set at Atlanta on Dec. 30. Milwaukee's
previous best defensive effort for a quarter was 11 points, last
accomplished against Minnesota on Feb. 1.
"You've got to come ready to play," Sonics coach Nat McMillan
said after the Bucks snapped a three-game losing streak to Seattle.
"I didn't think we came ready to play. It looked we thought this
was going to be a cake walk. And, because we've had some success,
we could just come show up."
Game notes
After contesting for a defensive rebound, Bucks center Dan
Gadzuric left the game at 3:15 of the first quarter with a strained
upper back. He did not return. ... Milwaukee has a 8-4 mark, giving
the Bucks their best February since 2001, when they went 8-4. ...
Mo Williams had 10 assists through three quarters, just as many as
the entire Sonics team had.

Green Cars - The Next Generation!!!
Eco friendly cars are now in demand due to zero maintenance and less consumption of fuel. These cars have changed the norms of the regular gasoline based engines. It gives a better pick up though going low on the mileage. Most of the car manufacturers are now into designing better green cars that gives a better mileage as well. It is a tough market for branding green cars as gasoline cars still rules the streets. Today, we have green cars that run on solar energy, battery operated, hybrid cars, and the plug in hybrids. Some of these cars are safe bets to save money on fuel and usually find a lot of buyers.
Among the green cars, the battery operated ranks the highest as it runs on electricity. It is preferred by a lot of people as it is a complete saver on fuel. The mileage is still an issue of concern with battery operated cars and has to be worked on for better performance. Moreover the need to charge after every 80 miles is again a question to ponder as the car soon exhaust of the charged up electricity. The other option against battery operated cars would be the hybrid ones. They are very eco friendly and works on a combination of fuel and electricity. It offers the comfort of switching from fuel mode to electric mode and also has in-built chargers. The car gets recharged automatically and you neither have to carry the chargers nor wait for the car to get charged.
The plug in hybrids are another type of green car and do not have many buyers. It runs on the same principle as that of the normal hybrid cars except that over here, you would have to manually charge the battery. The charger has to be carried, and needs to be plugged on for the battery to be back in operation mode. It takes a lot of time for the battery to get charged and does not work during long travels. On the other hand, it is a point to be noted that both the hybrid and the plug in hybrid are good on mileage.
No wonder, some of the leading car manufacturing companies have tried to implement such features into their car prototypes. Let us take a look at some of the leading green car models.
1. Toyota Pirus - It is rated as one of the top selling car of the season and gives a decent mileage of 50 per mile. The overall cost of this green model is quoted around 23 million dollars
2. Tesla Roadster - A battery operated car that has to be recharged for about every 300 miles. It gives a good mileage and is priced around 100 million dollars.
3. Chevrolet volt 230 - A fully fledged plug in hybrid and give about roughly 30 miles for every recharge. It is quite economical and is affordable by a common man. It is yet to hit the car market in a year's time.
Green cars are the next destination point for the automotive industry. It needs to be supported with research and designs that works perfectly in tune with the environment.

Dear Friends,
A couple of sparrows have built their nest right next to my house as they do every spring, weaving twigs with grass and feathers, readying it for their little family. Nearby, farmers are breaking up hard soil in the fields, preparing for sowing and eventual harvest, and neighbors are planting tomatoes and beans in their gardens. This fragrant, fragile time of year brings together our work of creating and care-taking with God's work of sun, rain and nurture.
At the Mission we see the truth every day of Proverbs 28:14, that "he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity." Part of our job is to pray God's softening warmth into hearts that have been hardened by fear, wrong choices and broken dreams. He pours down His sun and rain, while we help men learn how to take His seeds in and watch for the shoots to show.
It is a fragile time here as well: the dangers of the birds, thorns and rocks of Matthew 13 are real. We grieve as some men go out through our doors into places that will bring them down yet again. We rejoice greatly when some make the painful choices that keep them here, roots growing deeper, leaves growing stronger, fruit beginning to grow. We trust that whether they are here for the first and only time or for one of several times through, God's Word and His Spirit's working through the community will cause new life.
Thank Him with us for the privilege of witnessing Him at work in hearts that will be satisfied only in Him.
Frank Baldwin
Executive Director

Honoring the First Christian Martyrs of the Church at Rome
Like the martyrdom of the Apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul (see previous post here), a great number of Christians perished at the hands of Nero during the terrible persecution that lasted from the years 64-68 A.D. This was the first major persecution of the newly founded Church at Rome. The holy men and women are also called the "Protomartyrs of Rome." The historian Tacitus, in his said that a "great multitude" of Christians were put to death. Continue reading

St. Thomas More & St. John Fisher: Martyrs for Faith & Freedom
Each year on June 22nd we celebrate the feast day of two notable Catholic saints and martyrs: Saint Thomas More and Saint John Fisher. It's fitting that these two men have the same feast day, because they were both Englishmen martyred within two weeks of each other, for the same cause (religious freedom), on the same occasion (defending the sanctity of marriage and Papal authority against State usurpation), and at the hands of the same man (King Henry VIII).

Three Sacramentals Instituted by the Blessed Virgin Mary
From time to time Mary has given certain holy saints a particular devotion to her with attached graces and promises. The devotion is meant to be spread to the whole Church. In some cases an object, or sacramental, is given to be associated with the devotion. Three very famous sacramentals given to the Church by Mary are the holy rosary, the brown scapular, and the miraculous medal. Continue reading

Enhanced Box Score: Mets 17, Cubs 1 – June 27, 2012
Ha! But scores throughout a series aren't cumulative!
Ha! But scores throughout a series aren't cumulative!
I can't say I expected the Cubs to be going for a sweep in this one, but, here we are.
Soon, Wells could be gone completely.
Visiting teams continue to notice just how small, and antiquated the facilities at Wrigley Field are when compared to others around the league.
"It's fun to joke about."
After last night's ugly start, Wells is probably out of the rotation. But then what? Also, RizzoRizzoRizzoRizzoRizzo…
Now that Anthony Rizzo is in the bigs, on whom do we toss all of our hopes and expectations?
Boom. Rizzo'd.
Absolutely nothing of interest is happening in this game tonight.
It's OK to be excited about finally getting to see the Cubs' top prospect, but for his good – and your own – keep those expectations in check.
Paul Sullivan says Sveum "needs to be a little more forthcoming with the media when it comes to dispensing information."
McNeil's bonus is expected to be right around slot.
Anthony Rizzo offers his first awesome quote. Alfonso Soriano talks batting order, Ryan Dempster will miss another start, and Dale Sveum has noticed Brett Jackson's strikeouts.
Baez made a barehanded play yesterday, and was promptly removed from his game.
The utility player will return to AAA where he'll probably draw quite a few more starts.
The Mets kicked the ball around enough for the Cubs to win even if Travis Wood hadn't been great. But he was.
The Cubs face yet another lefty tonight, Johan Santana.
Byrd was recently released by the Red Sox.

Justin Timberlake, SAG-AFTRA Reach Agreement on 20/20 Experience World Tour Dancers
Under the agreement, performer earnings count toward pension and health benefits eligibility.
Justin Timberlake and SAG-AFTRA have reached an agreement for the dancers on his 20/20 Experience World Tour to be covered by the SAG-AFTRA Touring Agreement, the union announced Friday.
Under the agreement, performer earnings count toward pension and health benefits eligibility. The deal also provides touring companies with what the union called "improved budget flexibility through direct negotiations with performers."
SAG-AFTRA president Ken Howard applauded Timberlake and the SAG-AFTRA dancers who worked to unionize the 20/20 Experience tour.
"This is a wonderful result for SAG-AFTRA members and Justin Timberlake. Justin was very open to signing the agreement and personally making sure the deal got done," Howard said. "As a leading recording artist and actor, Justin's support for his fellow SAG-AFTRA members in unionizing his tour was a key element in concluding this agreement. I thank him for taking the lead."
STORY: Secrets of the SAG-AFTRA Convention
This is the first time that member performers have successfully organized dancers employed on a specific tour under the SAG-AFTRA Touring Agreement. The agreement was previously utilized to cover touring back-up singers for James Taylor, Reba McIntire, Martina McBride, Blues Traveler, Josh Groban and Jefferson Starship.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, SAG-AFTRA national executive director David White called the agreement "precedent setting" and added, "I'm genuinely excited about this deal. We are expanding our presence in this area."
Assistant national executive director for sound recordings Randy Himes also praised Timberlake and the dancers.
"The physical demands of touring are tough on our artist members and those members that tour with them," Himes said. "I applaud the dancers for their dedication to this new agreement and give Justin the credit he richly deserves for stepping up and taking care of his elite dancer group. It's just another reason why Justin continues to be one of the most respected performers in the media entertainment industry."

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. I never thought I'd write this, but T-Mobile is one of the most interesting companies around right now. With no-contract unlimited 4G, HD Voice, and the elimination of smartphone subsidies all in the pipeline, T-Mobile is on the verge of a lot of big changes. But none of them are as important to the company's future as the iPhone, which it says is coming as soon as this spring. "They're all, I would call them, in three to four months as opposed to six to nine months, T-Mobile CEO John Legere told Reuters, referring to both the iPhone and T-Mobile's subsidy elimination plan. T-Mobile's inability to offer its customers the iPhone to date has been a major black eye for the company, and has been a major reason for alarming subscriber bleeding the carrier has seen over the past few years. With the device, Legere estimates that T-Mobile's marketshare could increase by five percent or more, which is remarkable but also unsurprising, given that it's the iPhone we're talking about. Legere also took the time to talk about a potential deal with satellite television provider Dish, which just announced its quixotic $5 billion quest to acquire a stake in wireless provider Clearwire. Legere says he would be open to working with Dish, which would find a very "interesting" partner in T-Mobile. All Dish has to do is pick up the phone. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

The hotel staff was so friendly and accomodating. I left some items at check out and when I called, they had the items waiting for me. Great location, right next to the shops. I love Pasadena. I would definitely stay here again.
The room was so far from the parking garage door. I loved that we could park on the same floor as our room but when we entered, we had to go down 3 long halls just to get to our room. Real annoying when you have a lot of bags and a child.

The hotel was perfect. The staff was always checking if we needed anything when we were out. We were treated better then a 3 star hotel. We will book at the Marriott again if we can.

My room didn't seem completely clean and ready for my occupancy...i.e. there were no hangers in the closet, no remote control, one of the windows was propped open, and seemed to have some random waste paper in the restroom area.

I was born and raised in Texas. I Love to...
I was born and raised in Texas. I Love to travel and have been to five continents and 40 countries. Australia will be continent number six next month! I like to laugh and make others laugh, so I enjoy stand up comedy and comedy movies. I'm very easy going and always up for trying new things. I have built a career with the same company for 10 years. I am a Hospital Account Manager in surgical equipment and device sales and manage Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. While I like to travel and have fun, I can also stay at home and watch a movie. I was fortunate to go to Africa for a Safari and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I grew up spending time with my youngest brother and sister and their favorite movie was the Lion King, so seeing all those animals in Africa was amazing!

As part of the procedure to realise ESA's series of Earth Explorers, two new mission proposals have been selected for further development. The missions, called FLEX and CarbonSat, now vying to be the eighth Earth Explorer both address key climate and environmental change issues.
The selection follows ESA's Call for Earth Explorer Proposals that was released in October last year and ended in the Agency receiving 31 high-quality mission concepts. As with all Earth Explorer missions, FLEX and CarbonSat respond to issues raised by the scientific community to further our understanding of how Earth works as a system and how human activity is affecting natural Earth processes.
