VBAC
Tuesday I went to the OB. Had my nst. I was still crampy but again nothing major. Went to the library with DS and when I came home had a larger bloody show. The cramps continued into the night but only woke me a few times.
Sat down to eat yummy oatmeal with DS Wednesday morning and just as we cuddled up on the couch, the baby moved and I felt a pop! My water broke!
I woke up poor DH who had just gone to sleep after working all night and called into the OB to see what he wanted me to do because I was gbs +. They asked me to come in the office to be sure it was my water bag. We took our time. Got DS off with my sister and went to eat a bite.
Got to the office around 12 noon and it was my water bag. I was 1cm and 50% with a very soft cervix. Thank you epo!
I was admitted to l&d around 2 pm and my doula arrived around 3. Once she arrived a sense of relief filled me and I started to have more pressure waves.
By 8-9 I was steadily having pressure waves every 3-4 minutes. They were strong and very intense. I kept going to my special place and reaffirming to myself that I could do this. Around 11pm I got in the shower, heaven! It made the waves more manageable. I stayed in the shower imagining my cervix soft and open open open. I literally felt it open. I had to get out of the shower ASAP. I asked to be checked. My first check since the office. I asked not to be informed but for my doula to know. I layed down to rest on my side and things went fast! I had been 6cm when checked the first time. I had the urge to push within a few pressure waves. Noone believed me. The nurse checked again and I heard her say, call the OB ASAP. We need him now.

First off thank you all for all your support, question answering and allowing me to be apart of this board. I did it!
Here is a brief story I wrote up:
I lost my mp on Saturday. More fell out Monday night with a small bloody show. I wasn't doing anything more than cramping. Went to the chiro and got my normal adjustment as well as my ankles adjusted and a second acupuncture session. I was still crampy but nothing big.Tuesday I went to the OB. Had my nst. I was still crampy but again nothing major. Went to the library with DS and when I came home had a larger bloody show. The cramps continued into the night but only woke me a few times.

I tried my best not to push but my body did all the work for me. By the time my OB got the the room at 2:15am I was crowning and Tibi was born in 4 firm pushes at 2:21am. I never felt pain just intense pressure, intense urge and he was out. Immediately placed on my chest for a few moments. He had to get checked because of slight mec but he is perfect. When they gave him back I did skin to skin and he latched on all by himself, basically breast crawling. We nursed for 2 hours and then I gave him his first bath. I'm still amazed about the power of hypnosis, my strength and his size. 100% what I dreamed about, 100% perfect:)?

Re: My VBAC baby is here!!!
DS2 - Oct 2010 (my VBAC baby!)
Thank you everyone!
To the mama who posted about finding a new hospital, my doctor is to thank. I made him VERY aware of what I wanted and he made it happen. He wrote special instructions and really stepped up to the plate when the nurses tried to implement hospital policy. When I had a pressure wave I put my hand up and the nurses stopped talking. After a few times of having my hand in their face they shut their mouths when my eyes closed. I even got to take my placenta home with me. My doctor slipped it to my doula and winked
Thank you for your story. I am hoping to do a VBAC as well. I am currently looking for a doula or midwife in my area. Congrats!
Awesome story! Congrats on your big baby.
