Sorry, I've been slacking on this since I mostly just get to mobile bump these days.  We are getting close, ladies!

How far along are you?

Where are you in your decision making process at this point? 

How are you feeling about your VBAC?  

Any new updates to share since our last check-in?

    39+3

    Definitely will not be electing for a c-section now that we've made it to this point.  

    How are you feeling about your VBAC?  
    Really positive lately!  Now that I've made it this far, I feel much more comfortable with the idea of an induction if it's deemed necessary.  I've also been listening to the Hypnobabies VBAC tracks and find it really does help me stay in a positive frame of mind.

    Blood pressure was completely normal at my last check-up, woo hoo!  I go back Friday for my 39 week visit and am hoping it continues to be normal so I can keep waiting for labor to start naturally.

    It has been a really rough past week.   My little guy is in a spot that his head is hitting a bone that was making it very painful to walk.  It has been very frustrating and exhausting.  Unless tomorrow something dramatically changes, the doc thinks a vbac is not looking favorable.  We went and scheduled an RCS for the 6th (but he said we can cancel it at any time) I have gone back and forth a million times on what to do, and it all just comes back to healthy baby and healthy mom.  
    And when I asked my doc about the tummy tuck, he just said " you do not want me preforming that on you!"

    I'm sorry you are having a tough time with the back and forth @lisamahrt‌. I think you totally have the right mindset though and no matter what you'll be meeting your healthy baby so soon either way!

    38 and change and feeling terrible. Still not dilated, not effaced, baby is still way up high. Right now I'm not feeling optimisitic for some reason. I know a lot can change and in a minute, I'm just so miserable, sick of being pregnant and tired so I feel defeated.

    How far along are you? 38 and 5

    Where are you in your decision making process at this point? Going for it and see how I do once I get into labour.

    How are you feeling about your VBAC?  Hopeful, see below.

    Any new updates to share since our last check-in? 1 cm and had my membranes swept this morning.   Also, my delivery Dr. seems SUPER supportive of me having a VBAC so that helps.

    Planning for VBAC unless things change to make a CS necessary
    How are you feeling about your VBAC?  
    Unsure. Worried that it won't happen due to my pelvis not being big enough, ect. Normal worries mostly. I go back and forth all the time but am set on trying at least.

    Membranes swept at my last 2 appointments but no real changes. Not even 1cm, still long but soft at least. Same as last pregnancy when they tried a sweep. But blood pressure has been ok. Slowly gone up over the pregnancy but nothing worrisome overall. I'm farther along with this one than I made it last time. Had some false labor over the last week or so, which I didn't have last time so its encouraging. But now I have bronchitis so hope he stays put until I feel better and have energy to do labor.

    37 + 4.

    I am still hoping for a VBAC but will not be upset if a section has to happen.

    My BP has started creeping up so I am being closely watched. I currently have a RCS scheduled for the 17th (day before my due date) just in case but my Dr will let me keep going if BP stays in check.

    I'm mentally preparing myself for a c-section at 39 weeks. I had BP issues with my first which led to a failed induction at 39 weeks. I know it might not play out the same way but I'm trying not to give myself too much false hope.

    Still set on vbac. Not sure if I even want to go to the hospital though, I'm nervous the stressful environment will be like last time causing my csec.

    How are you feeling about your VBAC?

    Nervous I won't handle the pain well but hopeful things will be a lot different this time.

    Braxton hicks are getting much more frequent. The doc I'm seeing has agreed to go to 42weeks before trying induction. I feel so much more relaxed this time around as I'm not doing any cervical checks cuz they're pointless or all those dang ultrasounds my previous doc had me do. I'm fairly sure baby will come before 42weeks but we'll see what happens.
