Congratulations to Aneka, but she is definitely lucky that nothing went wrong and she and baby are healthy. Not a choice I would make, but certainly would love to be as successful as her in another couple months or so.
It's a very personal choice, and she obviously felt really pushed into it. I think that it's awesome that she knows her body that well now that she can trust it and not put all her faith in doctors - especially the ones that wronged her so many times before.
The Knot won't share my Bump Siggy, so here's the low-down:
4/27/07 - Got engaged!
8/31/08 - Got married (to my best friend)!
12/30/08 - Got Pregnant!
9/3/09 - Welcome to the world, Elias Solomon!
8/16/10 - Got Pregnant, again!
5/14/11 - Welcome to the world, Talia Hadassah!
1/14/12 - Ready or not, here comes #3 (EDD 9/27/12)
I'm so happy it worked out for her! What bothers me about the story is that she had to defy medical professionals to get the birth she wanted. And a little sad that she got to birth #4 before it happened-but I guess that's where being an informed patient comes in handy. I admittedly was naive when I had my csection-but it certainly pushed me to be informed after that!
