Second time Mumma

Clare

Hello all!

I’m currently 36+5 weeks pregnant with my second daughter, however this pregnancy is very different! My first was born 11 years ago at 35+6 weeks via c-section as she was breech.

This time I am attempting VBAC but never really laboured with my first. I was in what they called “latent labour” and the c-section was performed before active labour had progressed. This kind of makes me a “first time mum” in terms of labouring! I’m wondering if there are any other mumma’s who have had a similar situation and am wanting to know their labour experience. They say I may come early because she’s my second but I’m wondering if that’s counteracted by the fact that I’ve never actively laboured before. I only ask as I’m feeling like I’m entering the “latent phase” again as of 6am this morning and am not sure how long it may last for me!

Thanks! ☺️
