I had a classical cut with my cesarian. How soon can I try to conceive again safely? is vbac an option? I dont smoke or drink or any drugs. no other health conditions.
Brief Answer:
Not before three years, no option for VBAC.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,.
Welcome to HCM,
I can understand your concerns,
As you told that you had c-section by classical cut.
I advise that you should conceive after three years or more than it.
Scar healing becomes better with time.
There is no option for VBAC in classical type as there is about 25-30% chances of rupture.
I advise that whenever you will conceive in future,keep in touch with your Gynecologist,frequent ultrasound for scar thickness and elective c-section around 37weeks are advisable.
Hope it helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
