Never having a vbac

Naomi

I am 29 weeks with my second child. I had my son via emergency c section at 29w 6d. At the time I was unaware that I had a classical c section done. Fast forward two years and my midwife has just informed me I will never go to 40 weeks, I will never be induced, I will never experience labor, and I will never give birth naturally. I suffered so much with my first and was told later I can have a vbac, and that was all I wanted. To join the group of mothers that had done it with no intervention. I took hypnobirthing classes prior to my son being born and planned to apply it to this pregnancy. Devastated doesn’t begin to explain how I feel. I know you have to be flexible and things change in an instant, I guess I’m just tired of it always happening to me. I’m so thankful for these Braxton Hicks because it actually gives me a glimpse of what I could have had. It’s not the c section I have a problem with cause a healthy baby is what matters but never getting the chance to even experience labor cause I know I would have rocked it.
