Anyone deliver naturally after a C-Section

Hello Dangerous blonde, I am also 38 weeks and so tired :(. I saw you post on the other thread when you said that you were also fed up and very willing to get induced The Dangerous Blonde Posts 1743 13/12/2012 12:30:19 I've been on maternity leave for 2 weeks now and am sooo fed up and in the crankiest mood. My due date is Saturday but I am so over being pregnant and so ready to give birth. The nursery is all done, the clothes are all washed, monitor set up, car seat installed, bottles sterilized, toys assembled, I have literally run out of every small job to do. Add to that my legs ache, I'm not sleeping well, am having odd cramps and twinges, am very hormonal and at my last appointment was only 1cm dilated. Here are all the things annoying me: 1) daily calls / texts from well meaning friends and family asking if the baby has come yet and I feel like screaming NO SHE HAS NOT COME YET, you will be the first to know! 2) every single medical opinion under the sun - "are you sure an induction is safe, I read some really bad stuff". OK so am I going to listen to someone who has spent 5 mins on the internet or my Dr who has been an OBGYN for 30yrs? 3) friends laughing at me waddling or shuffling around "ah look at you" - yes I am glad it is amusing that you're a size 6 and I'm massive, thanks for making me feel like sh*t 4) "have you tried s*x / curry / pineapple / raspberry tea / walking" - yes I have tried ALL those things and still nothing 5) "She will come when she is good and ready", "relax" - no I can't relax, I'm exhausted and fed up 6) "Sleep now, you will need it later" - yes, because we can store up sleep can't we, not that I can sleep anyway I don;t know why I am writing this, just so fed up Are you regreting your decision to be induced ? Because I believe that you are now blaming your ob, I would like to have advices as I am in the same situation now :((( Who was your doctor ? TIA

Dr Raj is the best! Defo go to her!

Hi umm, I had VBAC last year at American hospital with dr. Raj. She was such a support. Never scared me, from day 1 she was like 'u r goin to come with labor pains in hosp'. I was induced with my first baby, no health issues nothing, doctor just wanted him out on the due date she gave. Long story short. I crossed my due date, but dr. Raj said she'll wait. And i went into labor naturally, stayed home for as long as i could. And after reaching hosp, within 1 hr, ds2 was in my arms :)

Hello I had VBAC last year at Welcare, with Dr Marcus. It seems to totally depend on the reason for your csection the first time as to whether you will be "allowed" to try. I was absolutely adamant i was not having a csect unless mine or babys life was at risk as my first Csect was traumatic. My advice would be to stay at home as long as possible when you go into labour, and cope as long as you can without going into hospital. If you are then a good way along and progressing well you are most likely to be given a decent shot at it. A friend of mine just had a VBAC with Dr George at City too. It is possible, but you need to do lots of research and be prepared for their scaremongering! I did private antenatal classes with elizabeth from dubai doulas which were all focussed on VBAC and it made my husband and i feel very empowered. It was the best experience of my life, and very healing for the mind knowing the body can do what it is meant to do! HTH!
