 yes I had 2 c-sections and had my 3rd baby naturally with no complications.but because of the risk of having a natural birth after c-sections. I could not have a drip put in to speed contractions up because of the risk of my scars rupturing while in labour.But I was lucky as I had no complications with the birth and was able to go home after a fews hours after having my baby.good luck!

 In the UK they prefer women who have had 2 c/secs not to have a trial of labour due to the weakening of the uterus by the scar tissue from the previous two births. You really need to speak to your GP to be referred to a decent obstetrician who can advise you further.

 Hello
It depends on the reasons why you had c-sections in the past. Some women have them because the baby/ mother got into trouble during delivery or it is a breach (upside down) baby, some women have them because they are physically unable to have a natural delivery for anatomical reasons and some women because they are 'too posh to push'. It is possible to have a natural delivery after c-section but c-section sometimes weakens the uterus for subsequent pregnancies. Your doctor will be able to go through your options if you book a pre-conception appointment - it is not a bad idea to have a general check up before you try for another baby. They should be able to go through your medical records to ascertain the reasons why you had c-section last time. Happy Baby Making :-)
