I currently have 2 children both born my c-section.
1st baby dilated to 10cm everything went well and he got distressed so it was emergency c-section.
So second baby they offered me either one but my husband was in Singapore for work and not home a lot, so we went with scheduled c-section.
My youngest is now 5 years old and we are trying for a third.
My question is has anyone safely and naturally delivered a third baby after 2 c-sections in australa.
We are in private health aswell.
I would love to have a baby natutrally due to labour perfectly.
Thank you ladies
Any experiences around this at all would be great

Hey I haven't but when I was trying for a VBac I joined the Facebook group VBac Australia and there is a lot of good advice and story's of ladies having a successful Vba2c.
Highly recommend joining there for advise and support! It can definately be done it's just a case of finding a supportive dr as a lot won't be.
Good luck
When i fell pregnant with our 3rd. Our first 2 where csections and i was told they would only deliver baby via csection it was too dangerous for myself and baby to try for a vbac
I would strongly recommend considering the public system. I am a midwife in a public hospital in Qld and in my experience, private obstetricians are not really the kind of care provider to choose if you want to avoid any kind of caesarean (whether it's your first, a VBAC, or a VBA2C). I have looked after both public and private patients in my time as a midwife. At the hospital I work in, we have had a few VBA2Cs and plents of VBACs. It's absolutely wonderful when it happens! They have been safe births with all the appropriate monitoring to ensure that baby isn't compromised. And having already dilated to 10cm with your first, you have a good chance at finding a care provider who will believe in you and support you if you want to go fo a vaginal birth. But there will be nay-sayers, there are always some who will claim that women who want a VBA2C are putting their own wants/needs before the health and safety of their unborn baby - which is rubbish and insulting. So prepare for a bit of opposition, and have some statistics ready to fire back at them when they give you grief! I really hope it all goes well for you :)
