Who here is going to VBAC? - Page 2

[mamatowill]

Well I love my OB and she is pretty crunchy. She has no problem at all with me VBACing where many other drs would. She and I are on the same page for care. I will get my VBAC if it is safe but it would not have been safe to vaginal delivery my DS his shoulders would have been stuck hence why his head could never engage in the pelvis. He had a bruise on his head the shape of my pelvic bone from trying to engage for over two hours.

I am meeting with a midwife to discuss the possibility.

We plan on it too! My dd was breech from week 30 on. We tried EVERYTHING to get her to flip over the next 8 weeks.. chiropractor, laying on a board with headphones on my lower belly (3 weeks into it, the board broke with me on it! very funny moment), moxibustion and we even did the external version in the hospital. She did NOT want to move.. therefore we had an emergency c-section since i went into labor 2 weeks early and she was still upside down with her legs straight down. Right away my midwife said we could do a VBAC next time. I really, really hope this one works out.

I'm planning my second VBAC. Hopefully, with less intervention this time around.

Also planning my second VBAC.

My first one was last July after a L O N G flaky labor. Maybe tandem nursing will get this one out faster.

8 months ago DS was born via c-section. DS was transverse, I ended up with a classical c-section and a torn uterus. Which resulted in a t shape scar. I soooo want a VBAC and will be trying my hardest to find a Dr or Midwife willing to assist me.

I have my 1st appt. next week and I'm nervous already. What kinds of ?s should I ask?

I'm also planning a vbac. I know one of the main questions to ask is what their vbac success rate is. ICAN says your provider should have a success rate of 75% or higher.

I'd also ask under what circumstance will the provider refuse a vbac- some won't try it if the baby is too big, if there are twins, etc. Ask whether you'll be allowed to birth in various positions, what kind of monitoring will be required, things like that.

I'll be checking in to see other replies, I need ideas about what I should ask my provider as well.

Okay. I'm officially planning a HBA2C! I found a midwife who is willing to assist although she wants me to co-care with some CMNs who could assist at the hospital should it come to that.

I have questions too about what to ask potential care providers. Maybe I'll start a new thread.

I wish you were nearby, our only real VBAC dr here does classical incision VBAC. Good luck, I hope you can find a good care provider!
