Intro

Another lame intro...

I'm starting fresh... lost my login/user name for my old bumpie account... so I get how it works on here more or less....

To keep it short we will be TTC #2 by the end of this summer, most likely, and after our gross underestimation of the importance of knowledge and spousal/support person preparation for labor and delivery... leading to a quite unexpected and unnecessarily scary c/s... I am hoping to begin my journey to a VBAC attempt well ahead of time... when hormones are a little less... crazy....

Why do I care now?  My closest friends in the entire world are havng/have had the most beautiful all natural deliveries and I guess it has stirred up a lot of emotions.   As I prefer to say I don't hate how my child came into the world, and I have no way of knowing if it would have been better to be more dramatic in avoiding a c/s the first time around, but I do hate that it was so scary and out of control.  I'm trying to sort out any residual feelings from this, and deal with them honestly, so that my next experience will be one in it's own, without shadows from my previous delivery overhead.

 Nice to meet you all, and thank you to everyone who has shared so much honest (both positive and negative) information on this board so far!  It has been a pleasure to begin looking at some of the other stories/posts...

But anyway, just wanted to intro myself so I wasn't a creepy lurker.
