I am only in my first tri with baby #2. I had an elective C section with my DS...well...he was 10lbs 4 oz so Dr said I would not be able to push him out. We decided to just schedule the C section.
I hated the experience and recovery was awful. I was considering VBAC this time but I am uneducated about this process. Any tips/advice would be soooo helpful to me.
Re: Thinking VBAC but scared!
First, if you haven't already, get a new doctor. Anyone who schedules a c-section for size is not going help you get a VBAC.
Second, check out the VBAC blog. Iris keeps it well updated with all the latest research and birth stories. https://vbacbumpies.blogspot.com/
Good luck with your research and decision!
Just wanted to say that my DS was 10 lbs, 2 oz. He was a c/s because his cord got caught under him and it slowed his heartrate. But they never said I wouldn't have been able to deliver him otherwise.
I changed hospitals for my VBAC. My DD was almost 2 lbs smaller and came out without an issue. I agree that you need to change doctors if you are interested in a VBAC.
