Re: VBAC check-in!

Joining you ladies! I am not on TB much for the past year and a half after I left for an offboard during a mass exodus, but I still check in on the preemies board and was happy to see a VBAC board as well. 

I am pregnant with my 2nd, due July 11, 2013, and hoping for a VBAC this time after an emergency c-section at 29w, 6d with my DD, Corrine. My OBGYN practice is on board with me trying as long as I go into labor on my own (they won't induce). They will let me go to 40 weeks before doing a RCS, but I was already told they doubt I will make it that far with my past history. Fingers crossed!

I'm "around" (mostly lurking here and posting on my BMB).  

Just had my 2VBAC this past August.  

And of course I think this board is completely awesome Yes

I'm expecting baby #3, and hoping for a VBAC.  DS1 was a vaginal delivery, but DS2 was almost 1.5 lbs bigger, and he wouldn't come out!  His HR kept dropping with every push, so after 30 minutes of pushing and his HR dropping into the 40's, we went for the emergency c-section.

My midwife practice thinks I'm a great candidate for a VBAC since I have a "proven system," but I just need to do everything I can to have a 7lb baby instead of a 9lb baby this time!

I am lurking but DD was breech and I had a cs almost 17 months ago.  I am really hoping for a VBAC and that this LO gets head down!  I went into labor with my first, so I am hoping that I am a good candidate as our doctors will not initiate labor with a VBAC

I'm due at the end of January with #2. Hoping for an unmedicated labor in a very pro-vbac hospital.

WIth #1 I had a planned c/s, but it was for questionable reasons.  Basically I wasn't allowed to go past my EDD due to GD, I had an unfavorable bishop score and my OB (of 14 years) convinced me I'd just be harming myself and baby by attempting an induction.   '

2 years later and a new OB and I'm very confident/hopeful for a a VBAC.  My new OB will induce for a VBAC, and will let me go slightly past my EDD (to 41 weeks) even with GD.  But I'm hoping to go into labor naturally before then :) DS is already much lower than DD was so I'm hopeful

I am here. Just got a BFP a few days ago and hoping to VBAC with this one. My first was a planned natural hospital birth with midwife turned induction due to low fluid, thick meconium, baby's heart rate was flat, suspected big baby (9lb 8oz). My MW was under a lot of pressure from the attending OB and I ended up with a likely unnecessary c-section. I labored for 18 hours and got to 7 cm before they took me back for c-section with little explanation. 

I am strongly considering an out of hospital birth for this one, or an OB with a great reputation among my ICAN group. I set up some appointments today so we will see!

I'm still here. Though not as much, now that I'm back to work.

Had my VBAC in June.  We're undecided if there will be a third baby.  If so, it will be 2-3 years from now.

Its been a while since I have been on here. I needed a break from obsessing about VBACs for a while. :) I started going to my local ICAN meetings, did a lot of soul searching and research, and learned more about what went on that led to my c-section in Feb 2011. I was a wreck during the first half of this pregnancy because I was so upset about possibly having a RCS. I was borderline pre-e with my my first, probable undiagnosed GD, was was induced at 38.5weeks. I got to 10cm and pushing and couldn't puch her out, so to the OR I went. She was 9lbs at birth.

 I just failed my 1 hr GTT so I need to take the 3 hour next. Even if it comes back ok, I am still going to follow a GD diet. I just started working as a nurse in L&D and have learned that a lot of women who fail their 1hr and pass their 3 hr end up with big babies and shoulder dystocia. The place where babies born to moms with GD have a lot of bulk is in their shoulders.
