I am having one in December. Having had two naturals my midwife feels I will do fine. But I am prepared for the fact things can go wrong no matter the type of birth you choose. C-section carries many risks too!

I will be trying it when we get there, I am hoping I am not in the % that has complications but you never really know. I have a friend who attempted it and was not successful she said your best chances was to use a doula so thats what we are going to do. Her experience was horrible from what she told me but both her and the baby came out of it okay.

I had a horrible experience wtih my vbac and suffered years of pain from healing and a mom on this site sadly lost her baby from a vbac ~ I wouldnt ever risk it again or advise it ~ to dangerous!! Even if the risk % is low what if that % was you??

I am planning on having a VBAC. I have read alot of information about VBAC`s because I have been planning on having one with this pregnancy ever since I had to have a c-section last pregnancy. From what I have read there is alot more complications that may or could happen with a c-section compared to a VBAC. The statistics I have read that the chances of your uterine ruptering is about a 1.5 to 2% chance. I was really scared at first because I just heard about the scary things that could happen but after reading up about VBACs I feel quite confident and excited to be able to have this chance. I have not gone through the VBAC yet, but I will be trying everything to get and be prepared for a VBAC (Such as excersing). They have websites that will help you better understand and prepare and support you with a VBAC decision.I hope this helped.

She should check out http://www.vbac.com/ it has good information about vbacs. If she has a horizontal bikini and they did a double suture inside her chances of rupture are very slim. As for blood clots I don`t know why they wouldn`t just give her blood thinners after a c-section. They give them routinely here for 3-4 days after your section. They hurt like a damn though!

Shes scared as shes been told if she just has another C-section then theres a chance she might have to have hysterectomy if it goes wrong, she could have blood clots(her father just had a heart attack caused by blood clot) and a few other things could happen. But if she has the Normal Birth(VBAC) then her womb could irrupt through her C-section scar. So shes completely freaked out and had 4wks to make her decision! xx

  1. Thanks to my twin`s ability to trek down here, my records are straightened out! I will be having my first appointment on February 29th. I will be 10 weeks-ish. Around here that is about when they want to see you. When did you get your first appointment?
  2. What do you think is better (or worse) for kids? TV or video games?
  3. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  4. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  5. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  6. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  7. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  8. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  9. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  10. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
