No VBAC - - Kinda relieved

MattsWifey<3

Had my first appt yesterday. I asked the OB if I can attempt a VBAC and what she thought my success rate would be...

She said given what happened with DD less than a year ago she would not do the VBAC. Honestly, I felt relieved.

I did not want a CS at all with DD but after 3 days in labor and no dialation it became medically necessary. Once they got me ready for the CS my experience was great - - including the recovery.

If she said I could do the VBAC I would feel obligated to try it. But after what I went through last year, I'd rather not do that again. I don't agree with elective or unnecessary C/S so now I feel like I am in the clear to just have another section.

Phew... one less thing off my plate.

I'm not a good candidate either... especially w/twins.  It is nice knowing!!!

I am a good candidate and will try my VBAC in September... but I had a dream last night that I was having twins and I was so upset because I knew I couldn't have a VBAC!

A part of me wants to just schedule a c/s, but the only reason I had one last time was because Robbie was turned sideways with his head tilted. He couldn't even drop. Other than that my labor progressed perfectly and I was fully dilated and fully effaced. So hopefully this time the baby will cooperate a little more!

I know exactly how you feel.   I really struggled with the decision to try a VBAC or do a repeat c-section.  After talking with my dr at my first appt I decided to go with the repeat c-section as my chances of a successful VBAC were slim to none considering the problems I had with DS.
