It was a tough decision but I've finally made it...

in Pregnant after 35

I'm going for a VBAC. I knew I wanted to try, but I did NOT want to be strapped to the monitors. The OB told me I didn't have a choice, I would be on the monitors because that would be the only way that they'd know if my uterus ruptured....

After a few days of torturing DH, and SIL with babble I've decided I still want to go for it.  

Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed for 15 more weeks or so, and hope my body knows what to do!

    Yay for making a decision! I am not even close to make a decision on VBAC or C-section.. I am completely confused, torn, and undecided. At least I have some more time to decide.

    Jules - I really didn't expect my doctor's office to MAKE me make a decision this early, but at my last check up I was given a form and told to select box 1 or 2, and bring it back next time... They'v e been asking me about it since my first appointment, and I kept telling them I wasn't ready to make a choice, but at least I got to ask some questions, and weigh in the answers, and now it's good to know which way I'm heading.

    It's even nicer to know DH is on board an completely supportive.

    Congrats on the decision. FWIW, with both my VBACs, I was able to get long enough cords for the monitors that I was still able to move around proactively a lot & not have to lay down. With my second VBAC, MW let me monitor for 15-20 min an hour & then be off the monitor for a while.

    Thanks Mama!

    I'm sure I will have a LOT more questions once I get closer. For now, I'm excited about the possibility of having the birth I didn't get with #1, not like I ever felt as though I missed out last time... but I'm excited to see if I can DO it. (I never dialated past 7cm...) I figure, worst case scenario, I get another csect. If anything on those monitors doesn't look right, I'm not taking any chances.
