Can anyone who has had 3 C-Sections offer reassurance?

Hi all! I recently discovered we’re expecting again. And while I’m still VERY early in the pregnancy and we don’t know how it will progress, I already am panicking about birth.

I have 3 kids. My first was a vaginal birth with a 3rd degree tear. It was awful as my epidural failed and I felt it all.

My second baby was breech and I opted to not have them try to manually flip him while I was in active labor so we did a C-Section. The surgery thankfully went smoothly, but that recovery was a bit rough the first few days.

With my third I planned for a VBAC. My water broke on its own at home and I did TOLAC, but unfortunately after 12 hours I never progressed. I felt something was off and opted for a repeat section and sure enough I would’ve had one anyway as the baby’s cord was coming before she was and it would have resulted in an emergency surgery had I kept trying for the VBAC.

That was two years ago. My last was IVF so I thought we were done, but this is a surprise. This 100% will be last and I know a VBA2C is probably not going to happen and repeat would be very likely.

I’m hoping to hear positive stories because the internet seems to love to scare people about C-Sections 🙄.

TIA!
