TOLAC

So, with Henrietta I ended up with a c-section. I had a lot of things that lead to that, being induced at 39 weeks, having too much fluid, having sub-optimal pelvis shape, getting an epidural*, etc ( Read more... )

Good luck! The one in the icon was VBAC.
Tho she wound up being a bit of a kook.
But perhaps she woulda been that way regardless!

I'll add that to my list of cons of VBAC.

I am hoping it works, though part of me just wants to schedule it and be done with it.

Dying is very unlikely! Injury to the baby is very unlikely! They monitor these things.

There's no reason you can't try VBAC if you want to. Go for it. If things don't work, you just do a c-section, nbd.

That is how I felt until this week. I think it is just hormones and nerves for the end of pregnancy.

I told the OB this week that I am opposed to a c-section, just I want to try labor to see how it goes without being induced. I just need to remember that.
