Intro/Success Story

*AirForceWife**AirForceWife*
in VBAC

Hi ladies!

I haven't been on the boards for a few years now, but I *might* be pregnant with #3 and will be seeking another VBAC if that's the case so I thought I'd stop by.

DS was born 1/26/2011 via c-section after laboring without meds and pushing for 2+ hours (failure to descend past 0 station despite natural birthing positions, etc.).  We thought it might be due to my scoliosis and thought a repeat c was inevitable.  However, I wanted to again labor as long without intervention as possible with DD.  Ended up getting an epidural (at 10cm...sheesh I should have just finished without it!), but she was born 19 1/2 months after DS via successful VBAC on 9/8/2012!

Just want to encourage all of you who are pregnant and looking forward to a successful VBAC.  I went into the hospital with DD at 5cm and the staff were really encouraging of my choice to attempt a vaginal delivery.  You're your own best advocate!  They insisted I be hooked up to an IV and monitored closely, but I still had the freedom to be on my feet and move around the room and utilize a birthing ball.  It was really a wonderful experience :)

    SN:  It looks on my screen like my signature from when I was pg with DS is still showing up even though I already deleted it ages ago...?...

    Awesome! It's fun to have fellow veteran VBACs on the board :). And congrats if you are pregnant with #3! I'm anticipating my second VBAC in a couple months.
