A little background. I have 4 year old twins delivered via c-section at 33 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. It's now looking like my VBAC hopes have been crushed. I am showing signs of pre-eclampsia. .If I don't go into labor on my own this weekend, and I am checked on Monday and there's still protein in my urine (there has been all week) then on Monday he has scheduled a C-section. I am 38 weeks and 2 days today so in essence labor *could* happen but nothing is showing that it is imminent. At all.... I have an exercise ball, have been walking stores and malls, will be walking for 45 minutes to an hour with a friend starting tonight, and will try to do the do. Trying to stay positive but I cried for at least 30 minutes at the Dr's office today. Yes a healthy baby at the end is the priority but since the beginning of this pregnancy my aim has been a VBAC. I've done everything possible to have this happen and it just sucks that my body has failed me. Again... I feel robbed. I truly wanted this experience this time around. I never understood the anguish women who have repeated c-sections feel after failed VBACS until now.
Re: Feeling so sad right now....
I hope things get better, and I'll keep you in my prayers Good luck with everything girl and congratulations!
If not, good luck Monday.
If not, you are doing the right thing by doing what's best for your baby.
It might not go according to plan re VBAC vs c section regardless your body did the best job by creating and carrying a baby up till now.
Good luck and will keep you in my thoughts.
As hard as it may be for you, try to think of the positives.
