My VBAC birth story (LIP)

I just posted the long version of my birth story here: https://prettycitythings.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-vbac-birth-story.html

To summarize... I was induced 6 days after my due date because my waters tore but sealed up again. I was already 5 cms dilated, which is why they let me be induced rather than just doing another c-section. I labored for 5 hours, pushed for an hour and a half, and DD was born weighing 10lbs 1oz. She was a chunker!

I tore really badly but recovery has been so much better than with my c-section, and the whole experience was very emotionally healing for me. GL to anyone else trying!

    Thanks for sharing and congratulations!  Sorry you had to deal with such jerky anesthesiologists.  Seems like they always use the emergency c/s with general anesthesia threat to try to convince you to do the epidural.  When in a true emergency, they are going to do general whether you had an epi or not.  anyway, great story!
