You already know that how your baby is born is no indication of your womanhood, so don't get pushed into anything you don't want. In S.C. it isn't easy to get a VBAC and my last OBGYN told me that no one does them, I had to ask my family doctor for a recommendation. If you do decide you would like more info let me know. My sister had the option of a VBAC and she told them in no uncertain terms that she was going for a C-Section, thank you very much. They both have pros and cons.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913294928683295678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633939855508019783.post-92163874000728355642010-11-03T16:15:24.199-07:002010-11-03T16:15:24.199-07:00You don't have to decide yet.

But I had gained 65 lb. and had pre-eclampsia and J had turned from his breach position. So he decided to induce - and almost missed the event! Might have been better; the snips he performed haven't helped in my later life! So a second C isn't a bad thing.<br />There's a lot of pressure on hospitals and therefore OBs to limit the number of C-sections they perform. If your OB is giving you a choice, choose! And only you can do that - later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273864246462129074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633939855508019783.post-50974405837568394262010-11-03T11:50:30.165-07:002010-11-03T11:50:30.165-07:00Wow Devin - Isaac was exactly the same as Parker -...Wow Devin - Isaac was exactly the same as Parker - except for the late part (induced early for pre-eclampsia) and only 6 hours of labor before they figured out he was breech (think both feet down saying, "HELL NO, I'm not coming out!). But I was allowed to hold him (which was good, because it was several hours before I could move my toes - and was on mag thinking "why are my toes glowing?" not realizing they had put a pulse-ox on my toes). Although I never did see anything on him besides the top of his head until the next morning. But yeah, 60 pounds gained with him.<br /><br />But being on the more conservative east coast, I was pushed the other direction TOWARDS a c-section for Liam (only 25 pounds gained). I have to say the experience was much nicer with it being planned - and no labor pains before hand :) Plus it helped that the anesthesiologist was HOT and had a great sense of humor and kept me entertained for the 2 hours it took (they thought they nicked my bladder and had to investigate - luckily all was well). <br /><br />Don't feel bad about your decision. It really was easier. Although the pain after surgery the second time seemed worse - but maybe that was just me. *hugs*Anna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182755873284786970noreply@blogger.com
