I NEVER thought I would say this....

...but I am crossing my legs and praying that I am still pregnant this time next week. I had my weekly appt today and arrived to find out that my MW got called to SOUTH AFRICA on a family emergency!! Her dad had a heart attack so she had to go. My practice is one MW and one OB. I am a VBAC and she swore she would be the one to deliver unless a c/s is needed. Obviously this is a totally unforseen circumstance so I am praying that baby boy hangs in for another week. I am sure he will but my luck works in Murphy's Law terms. I am 3cm with 50% effacement as of today, last week I was 1-1.5cm. Hopefully he will hang out until she gets back...I know all will be fine either way, I will just be disappointed.

Ha! My luck works in Murphy's Law terms as well. Hang in there, and good luck to you!

I hope your LO stays put until your MW comes back. Best of luck!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

We told baby he/she had to stay put through today for DH's work, and baby was compliant. I hope your little munchkin is just as cooperative for you.

my DH is gone a lot and so I feel like when he gets home my body relaxes and I go into labor...maybe the same will happen when you MW gets back.

Hang in there, mama. Lie down as often as you can.

Is the OB VBAC supportive at all? If not, I guess you have to plan to show up pushing.

That really sucks.

I am a week behind you...but praying this baby stays in until next Monday (June 11). I live in MA, and traveling to NY for a wedding that I AM IN!

I really want to be able to still be in the wedding, and only baby can determine that for me ! I have an appointment today, so hopefully she'll do a cervical check to see how things look!

Good luck to you, and crossings my fingers you get the VBAC!!

Yes, He is VBAC supportive but I think he'd be quicker to push the c/s than my MW and I just like/feel more comfortable with my MW than with him. He's fine and all but I would just prefer her.
