VBAC hopeful losing hope :(

juliekyle05

My doctor and I decided the best plan would be to see how I progressed and if I go into labor on my own I would try a VBAC otherwise my c/s is scheduled for the 27th which is two days after my due date.  Last week at my appointment the midwife check me and said I was 2 cm and 50% effaced.  Well I go today hoping to see more progress and had just the opposite.  My doctor said the midwife must have been mistaken because I was completely closed, no dialation what so ever.  I left there crying, I was excited at the fact that I might get to attempt the VBAC and things were looking hopeful now that has all been taken away.  I know things could change between now and then.  I'm just bummed.  I go again next Monday and hopefully something will change or I'll be able to talk the doctor into pushing out my c/s date further.  I'm so tired and in so much pain.  I've had tons of contractions and can't believe they aren't doing a darn thing in terms of progression.

Why are you being pused for a repeat c-section anyway?   Can't they let you go longer?  I mean longer than next week.  I know every office is different.

I am crossing my fingers you can have your VBAC!

I'm also losing hope in having a VBAC.  I have a big baby 6 lbs 8 oz at 34 weeks. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I'd talk to them about going longer if both of you are looking good.  Also, would an induction be a possibility?  I went into labor at 40w and 4 days but they'd planned to induce me (also a VBAC) at 41 weeks at 3 days.
