Hi Ladies!
I've been lurking since my daughter was born a year ago since I knew from day 1 I would want a VBAC the next time around. We just announced this pregnancy so I wanted to formally introduce myself!
I have switched providers and am now seeing a midwife through the same hospital my daughter was born at but I feel much more confident with a midwife over the OB I had last time. She has no problems with me going to 42 weeks with this pregnancy which I was concerned about since my daughter was a week late.
She is also suggesting I see a chiropractor to help facilitate optimal positioning (DD was posterior) and has said that given my reasons for the c-section (fetal distress) that I have about an 80% chance of a successful VBAC.
Anyway, looking forward to getting tons of tips and advice from you all in the next 6 months or so and hearing about all of your stories as well!
Re: Intro!
Welcome, and congrats! It sounds like you have a good midwife for VBAC. I went to a chiropractor during my second pregnancy, and it helped alleviate my sciatica and just made me feel better overall. My chiropractor also does acupuncture, which I tried when I wasoverdue with my son (and I guess it worked, as I went into labor after my third session, hee hee).
Anyhoo, there's a good amount of us who had posterior/mispositioned first babies, and successful VBACs with the next one. Good luck!!
