Hello everyone! I had a cesarean section 3.5 years ago, and now I want to try giving birth naturally. I am aware of the risks. Is there anyone who has given birth naturally after a cesarean?

I gave birth on my own after three cesarean sections. The main risks are uterine rupture and bleeding. It is important that the maternity hospital has experience with such cases and is prepared for emergency measures. Consult with your doctor, undergo an ultrasound, and assess the condition of your scar.

I also had a planned cesarean section in June 2021. I wanted to give birth naturally at that time, but the doctor said I should have a cesarean. Now, I asked the maternity hospital if I can try to give birth naturally myself. They told me that having a cesarean the first time does not automatically mean I cannot attempt a natural birth the second time, so it is possible. However, if the ultrasound shows that the baby weighs more than 3600 grams, no one will allow me to give birth naturally, as I have gestational diabetes and I am 37 years old. Additionally, a relative of mine is also pregnant. She is registered at a different maternity hospital and told me about a woman aged 42 with a baby estimated to weigh 5000 grams according to ultrasound. They told her she could try to give birth naturally because there are no indications for a cesarean. It seems that the policies depend on the maternity hospital as well.
