Re: Re: [ozmidwifery] VBAC after more than one c-sec in the perinatal data?
Brenda, It was Janet that wrote the original message. I jumped in when I read that fairly shocking statement for an ob from your colleague :) Sorry for my sarcasm but someone like you will understand! You're incredibly lucky to have 2 good ob's to work with. Maybe I better rein in my sarcasm. I notice that with women all the time (I'm not a midwife, just have an extreme interest in the birthing scene) - they keep going to the same old butchers. You can't seem to get it in their heads that pregnancy/birth does not have to be that way. Good on you for promoting the pro natural obs. I know it's one step at a time but it gets so frustrating seeing what women accept for themselves and their babies :( It's depressing. Keep up the good work!

Re: [ozmidwifery] VBAC after more than one c-sec in the perinatal data?
I received the message below of yours
Brenda.
"AS 1 OB colleague states:
"if we could just prevent the first CS
happening she wouldn't be faced with this awful dilemma now ie to VBAC or
not."
An ob really said that?! My, my must have been one of those more
unusual obs!

Hi Janet,
On the Victorian perinatal data
collection unit form which should be filled out & returned
by all midwives to the above unit for every birth (home or
otherwise) there is a section which asks:
No 41:"was the last birth a CS
?
No 42: Total no of previous
CS?
Is this what you mean ?
I have recently been midwife at VBAC
after 3CS and a VBAC following 2 CS.
So they are happening. Just need more of
them.
AS 1 OB colleague states:
"if we could just prevent the first
CS happening she wouldn't be faced with this awful dilemma now ie to VBAC
or not.

Hi all,
is there some way in which the
perinatal data for each state records vb after multiple c-secs in the hospy
system? I wonder if it's too statistically insignificant or is there a part
of the data I haven't noticed. I know they're different in each state as
well. How about hospy's own data? Are people recording how many c-secs women
have before a vb? We really need MIPPs to be recording HBACs so we can
contrast that with the truly appalling national average. I've only seen
blanket VBAC figures, not how many surgeries prior. Anyone
know?

Re: [ozmidwifery] VBAC after more than one c-sec in the perinatal data?
Pretty simple for QLD as a women is not offered a Vbac if she has had more than 1 C/S even if she has had a successful vaginal birth between the c/s's. Don't know about the private system but they appear do more c/s and less vbac than the public system so probably less than no chance with them.
