VBAC stories? ? please mommies, tell me about your experience?

Question

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. My first was a c-section, she got stuck. But i'm trying for a VBAC . I want to know if any mommies have tried it and if it worked.

I want the success and the failure please and tell me about the experience, was it hard? easy? and the recovery

Thank you very much

Answer 1

VBAC? is that a natural birth?

Answer 2

You should consider hiring a doula.  The support can be invaluable and they will really advocate your wishes when you are in the delivery room.  It used to be the rule "once a cesarean, always a cesarean" but research is showing that VBAC's are perfectly safe and recovery time is much quicker.  People tend to forget that a c-section is MAJOR surgery.  If you don't have the resources to hire a doula, there are some organizations that  offer subsidies or volunteer doulas.  You'd have to check out the information in your particular area.

Hope that helps a little.
