Good morning,
I came into pregnancy #2 thinking that having a c-section was my only option.
With DD1 I went to 42 weeks, cervix was still hard so wound up with an induction(3cervadils and pitocin). I never progressed past 5 cm and since there was muconeum I had to have a c-section. I was ok with it at that point since I feel like I really didn't rush into it and I wanted to make sure dd was ok.
After I was told my uterus had an extension tear 4 cm long off of my incision. The sugeon pretty much told me no VBAC for the next baby and to wait 2 yrs to get pregnant.
There are 4 midwives in the practice I use. One kept telling me why would you not just take the surgeon's advice? I wound p sticking with the practice, but had a consult with a different one whose research for her doctorate was on VBACs. I'm so excited that she feels I am a candidate and is at least giving me hope. I was picking her brain about the surgeon, apparently he not even a pro-VBAC dr and isn't a part of their practice anymore since the didn't "mesh."
I'm still in my first trimester so I have a while, around 31-2 weeks she said we'd meet with the physician and workout the details.
I think part of the problem last time around was I couldn't relax. I had a doula and we just didn't mesh, she actually just really annoyed me. I'm going to start to practice meditation, any other recommendations? Books? I get adjusted frequently, i'm a chiropractor
so I'm doing that already.
Thank you! Sorry it's so Long!
