1) Are you planning a CS, VBAC, or unsure? Still going back and forth between CS and VBAC - see below
2) Why did you choose that particular type of birth? My Dr. said I can do the VBAC (thankfully after review of my report the actual uterine incision was made low enough where I am not high risk for uterine rupture) BUT he then went on to mention that my hips were very narrow. He said that if I tried VBAC it is likely that it would result in emergency c-section if we couldn't get the baby out, so I don't know. Right now leaning more towards a repeat C.
3) Any questions/concerns/rants/raves? Rave: Happy that we don't have to deliver 36/37 weeks!
4) What are you doing to prepare for your birth? Currently so unprepared but not sure that I really need to prepare any specific way for the birth. Last time I ended up living in the hospital johnny. This time I did put it on my list to find some sport bra style nursing bras and stock up on some maternity leggings. I do hope to be able to get dressed this time but who knows? I'm all about being comfortable after having the baby, not so much on looks.
