I did that last time around and found out that yeah, there was. I went in thinking there was no way I'd have another c-section, but, well, we see how that turned out. <BR/><BR/>I can't swear I'll have a VBAC because I know there's a chance I won't. I'm trying to be realistic, but I'm also very positive. <BR/><BR/>I think the prayers and good vibes must be working because I've been feeling very positive about it all lately. A great midwife appointment helped as does focusing on the positive. So far, so good.Reizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411331845012114174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-41575603839368964462008-12-12T20:59:00.000-06:002008-12-12T20:59:00.000-06:00I am respectful of all the work you've done to pro...I am respectful of all the work you've done to process your journey. I hate saying "I'm proud of you" to other grown ups because who am I to take pride in someone else's accomplishments, but for lack of a better way to express it, I'm proud of you. You've done and are doing all you can to maximize the safety of yourself and the wee little one. At this point, all you can do is have faith and continue to walk the path. I am holding you in prayer daily.tghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594083677890615541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-70149655190201218142008-12-12T20:26:00.000-06:002008-12-12T20:26:00.000-06:00I had two c/s; one that was traumatic and one that...I had two c/s; one that was traumatic and one that was as nice as surgery can be. I wanted a VBA2C because honestly there was no other way I could imagine giving birth. I had to do it, there was no try involved. And you know what, I did it. And you will too.<BR/><BR/>Set yourself up for success and in the end, realize you did all that you can for your health and the health of your baby!Erykahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02191777219816340079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-80874111942551117222008-12-12T11:01:00.000-06:002008-12-12T11:01:00.000-06:00I think it is natural to be fearful after the two ...I think it is natural to be fearful after the two surgical births you've already been through. I was so terrified at the end of my pregnacy. I was a wreck, actually. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't do anything but cry. But you're so much farther ahead of the game than I was. You have great support from a midwife who is going to help keep you safe and healthy. You won't have a doctor standing over you with a scalpel threatening you.<BR/><BR/>Take comfort in all the education and preparation you've done to prepare yourself for your natural birth. I know it's not easy to talk yourself down, but you are going to do this. I'm not normally a "positive visualization" kind of person, but I think it's mission:critical in birthing. <BR/><BR/>Breeeeaaathe.TheFeministBreederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202406381622825349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-24103039046035791772008-12-11T00:03:00.000-06:002008-12-11T00:03:00.000-06:00((hug))Sending strong comforting vibes your way.((hug))<BR/><BR/>Sending strong comforting vibes your way.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27822310.post-7895214017529338412008-12-10T21:40:00.000-06:002008-12-10T21:40:00.000-06:00it sounds like you are doing everything to believe...it sounds like you are doing everything to believe in yourself. that, i believe, is the key - trust your body and remember that the main goal is healthy mama and healthy baby....sending many blessings your way...Phyllis Sommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654761832717723000noreply@blogger.com
