Anyone else besides me? This will be #4 for me and its so very depressing for me......support mamas?

This will be my 4th c-section as well. I know how you feel. C-sections aren't something I particularly love having to go through over and over again, but its all worth it in the end when we get to hold our babies!!!!

It's a possibility.

My doctor told me I have about a 20% chance or less of a successful VBAC because of the reasons for my first C-section. I could not get him OUT! But, I was induced and had an epidural, and I am told by others (not my doctor) that could have been the reason why. Don't know. I was ONLY considering VBAC, but now I could be facing down a C-section for the second time.

I'm not looking forward to it, in fact I am up nights worrying about it. But if it means a healthy baby and healthy me, then I guess I will think it was worth it.

Good luck, mamas. I know how hard it is. I had a c/s for my first and repeats would be SO hard on me emotionally and physically. Just know I am supporting you! {{{HUGS}}}

 

[meisterfrau]

Possibly me too. I'm trying to stay positive.

I wanted to add something.. There's always a possibility of it with me and I have just had to find my peace with it to keep my sanity. At first, I thought if I don't get this hjomebirth I am going to be completely wounded... but then I realized it's my last birth and I don't want any regrets. I am just staying informed and active and whatever happens at the END, I will be okay.

Hopefully the lot of you can also find some zen.

Certainly a possibility for me too, though I doing my darndest to have a VBAC. I just can't imagine going through that recovery with two kiddos to look after this time! Lots of sympathy going your way!

Nothing but support from me!

Thanks mamas-I DREAD it. MOre than anything I so wish I could turn back the hands of time and know what I know now. With Emma, I didnt get up didnt try other labor positions, nothing was offered but a c-section. It could have been prevented. She had her cord around her neck but Ipushed and my mama saw her head....I think it of course came down to liability and then after that no one would really even consider because I was giving birth under 18 mos apart. They ended up sharing the same birthday-my water broke and it was no question as to another c-section.....I think my chance for redemption was with Quinn and I blew it because I was scared since Elena had been in NICU and all that....This time around midwives and OB's alike looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned unmedicated birth.

Thanks for all the support.......

Will those of you that are definetly having one-will it be a planned date?

 

[meisterfrau]

If I end up having one, it will be because my blood pressure is up. In that case, I will try to plan a date so that I can mentally prepare myself for it. If I see the writing on the wall, I don't want to wait until it's an emergency, KWIM?
