Well that settles that

In preparation for TTC I went and spoke with my OB again about VBAC vs. RCS (just to keep my options open). At the clinic I attend the doctors work in rotation with the patients so we can get to know all 5 of them (we never know who will be on call to deliver).

He considered the VBAC previously but it made me a little nervous. However, at this visit he stated that he didn't feel a VBAC was a good option and suggested RCS (due to bicornate uterus). That was kind of my plan all along, but it still stinks having doors closed. I trust him though...he's seen more of me than I ever have! I guess it's a bit of a blessing. It means that I know which doctor would be attending a future birth. He did a fantastic job with my first c-section.

I knew right away after my first c-section that there was no chance for a VBAC.  I was very upset back then, but I got over it.  Now I'm looking forward to it and will be pretty upset if I go into labor before my scheduled date. 

I don't want to bother to feel any of that pain or exhaust my body at all, I just want to sleep the night before (as much as I can in anticipation, of course), get up and go in.  I'm looking forward to an easier recovery from this one than the last one.  It's still surgery and still recovery, but last time I also had an episiotomy and 15 hours of labor with no sleep the night before.  This one just HAS to be better than that, right?

I'm also glad that I *should* be able to have my OB again because he did a great job last time and I healed up beautifully.
