| Yes, I had an elective C-section (for medical reasons) for my first and a vaginal delivery for my second (both babies delivered in HK). Not many HK obstetricians will be very supportive of your decision to try for a VBAC, so you need to find someone who is supportive and has the necessary experience. The two obstetricians that were recommended to me were Dr Ghosh and Dr Lucy Lord - I went with Dr Lord and she was fantastic.
If I had to choose between C-section and natural delivery it would be natural every time. I found it a much more fulfilling experience (yes, it was painful at times but the epidural was great!) and the recovery was much quicker. But do prepare yourself for the fact you may end up with another C-section, as it does not always work out. |
