Hi 🤰 mamas,

I’m currently 28 weeks fresh into my third trimester. My OBGYN advised that it would be safer to go for a planned C section at 38 weeks as I have preeclampsia in this pregnancy and my previous pregnancy. I had a seizure after 4 days of a c section birth in my previous so the doctors are very cautious this time around.
I expressed that I would want to go for a VBAC but she said it’ll be risky and we can’t wait up until 40 weeks too.

I’m thinking is it really the case that most preeclampsia history patients go through c section and is it fairly safer?

PS - my baby is a big one as defined by my doctor and it’s assumed to be of good size full term. Don’t know if that’s influencing the c section decision too.
