Question: I had an emergency CS one year ago cos I was pregnant with twin
 but lost one during pregnancy I didnt do family planning because it took me sometime to conceive the first time I have been using withdrawal method and calculating my circle but I got it wrong Im pregnant now Do I have a hope of VBAC
Answer: Hello Anonymous Im really sorry about your loss and congratulations on conceiving again 
There are a number of requirements before one qualifies for a VBAC First of all the reason for the first CS should not be a recurrent one For instance if the reason for the first CS was a small pelvis theres no point trying for a VBAC 
The duration between the date of your last CS and the date of conception of this pregnancy should not be less than 15 months because this increases the risk of a ruptured uterus 
Following your CS if there was any infection of the womb or of the wound it reduces the quality of the CS scar and a repeat CS would be advisable 
At 36 weeks of pregnancy your doctor will ask you to do a scan to measure babys weight and thickness of the CS Scar An Xray or CT Scan of the pelvis will also be done to see if it is adequate If all these parameters are okay you can then be scheduled for a VBAC 
It is important to note that in most centers you will be given a grace till 41weeks and 3 days to come in natural labor because induction of labor is not done routinely in women with previous CS 
I hope this helps

Answer: Congratulations for the gift of God on the way 

First thing I would advise you do is get a good Obstetrician to manage this pregnancy 

There are so many reasons surrounding the successful delivery after Caeserian section 
what was the reason for the first emergency CS was the leading twin breech a preterm contraction preterm rupture of membrane or a planned CS due to it being a precious baby as you have said If none of the reasons are recurring and theres no cause for you to have CS this time around then you have a chance of going for VBAC

Also the timing for VBAC also depends on many factors 
If your last delivery is a year ago and you are just pregnant now meaning youve got about 2021 months to the time of delivery you can go for a trial of VBAC if your Obstetrician agrees to it I hope this helps Congratulations once again
