Excited for possibility to go natural!

My first birth experience was horrible. DS's bio father was not remotely supportive. I was young and far less educated than I am now. I allowed myself to be bullied into an induction and then a c-section because I didn't know I could say no. That and BD kept saying things like "hurry up" and "let's just get this over with, I'm tired". I was in labor for less than 10 hours when they sliced me open, for a plethora of really stupid reasons.
Then my c-section itself was horrible. I presented some level of resistance to the anesthesia, and it wore off when they were putting me back together. Not fun at all.
Fast forward 4 years and here I am. DH is incredibly supportive, and is educating himself on when c-sections are actually necessary, and when they are not. He will fight for me. Although, we also live in a VBAC friendly area, with a number of doctors who specialize in natural and VBAC. So I am very excited to truly be given a fair shot at this. That's all I want. A fair shot for my body to do what it is meant to do.

You may want to see if you have a local ICAN chapter in your area. They're a great resource for VBAC information and support. https://www.ican-online.org/
