I had my 1st little guy almost 9 years ago. He was a natural birth and took a whole 5 pushes to get him out!!! I was thinking that when I had my 2nd about 20 months ago that I would have the same easy delivery! Boy was I WRONG!!! I have a feeling I ended up with a c-section mostly because the Dr. wanted to go home. I REALLY didn't want one but he said that with my little contractions his heartbeat was dropping and he didnt want to see what would happen when I had a big one. So we ended up having a c-section. Here I am preggo again and due only 2 months after my little guy turns 2!!!! I am hoping for a VBAC!!! This time I am not going to let them dissuade me or scare me!!!!
I am also pregnant with number 3. I have an almost 9 yr old daughter and have had 2 csections. I have already explained to my dr that I will be laboring at home until I feel I'm ready to come to the hospital. I want things my way and I think I can do it naturally, which is what I wanted the first time! My daughter was born a wk early. I was just anxious to get things rolling and that was a mistake. My dr wouldnt' try and move her after she told me she was stuck in my pelvis. I told her to stick her hand in there and move her, but she wouldn't. I ended up with a csection. Because my water was broken, they didn't want to let me walk around or anything. I didn't fight for what I wanted then but I def am now. I'm not going to let anyone bully me and I plan on a VBAC. It has been 6 yrs since my last and I am in the military. PT is hard enough for me after having 2 csections and I couldn't imagine having a 3rd. I hope we both get what we want!
My first child was born via emergency c-section. My second, the doctor was once a c-section always a c-section dr, and scheduled a c-section. I did not fight to even try. With the third child, I went to a midwife and from the first time I saw her, I told her I wanted a vbac. She let me do it and it was fantastic! I went to the hospital at 11am and my daughter was born at 230!
