I'm 28 weeks and 3 days doctor says baby is measuring a few weeks ahead💗 I talked with her about having a vbac. I was really worried she was gonna shoot it down. This is my second pregnancy, I had a cesarean with my first daughter. Not a emergency csection. I was sent In from my doc appointment bc i had protien in my urine and hbp. Got to the hospital they started to induce, got my epidural about 45min to a hour after that. was in "labor" for 13 hours i was on a medication magnesium I think it was called and it had me sleeping pretty much tho whole time. They. And in a checked me I was dilated to a 5 1/2 and they told me they were gonna go ahead and do a cesarean. I didn't protest. I was so messed up on meds and I did know nothing about nothing when it came to ga ing a baby. I didn't have anyone there with me besides my husband and he didn't either. I feel.like they did one bc it w as s more convenient. I had a amazing cesarean no issue. The doctor did a awesome job. I want to try for a vbac. I talk with my baby doctor about having a vbac the very first appointment and she shot it down. Well I have been doing more research and I want a vbac. I'm not gonna just roll over. We talked today about it and she is on board with it as long as everything checked out she want to make sure that I had a transversal (horizontal) incision on my uterus. Apparently they can do one on the outside and have to do a vertical one on the uterus. And I also have to go into labor in my own, the hospital where I am at won't do vbacs if you have to be induce. I pretty excited. I mean I want to at least try to have a vbac. Anyone have any input or tips for me I would really appreciate it.

I also highly recommend a doula, they can help you make decisions with non bias information. Push more questions. If you don’t like the answers change doctors change hospitals. Doctors are supposed to give you the facts and the options and you get to make the decisions not them.

Best of luck! I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and and hoping for a vbac in the next few weeks. My baby is also measuring ahead, by 4 weeks. Very excited and hopeful for a successful vbac. I've been doing HypnoBirthing in preparation.

I thought it was a bit hippy dippy at the start but truthfully it's ready helping me with pain already 😊

If your last CS was at term, they would have done a horizontal incision 👍

My vbac was the best experience. Consider a doula if you are concerned about your ob staff/hospital staff supporting you. Best wishes!
