Becky's VBAC & Callum's birth

[MyPoetTree]

thank you for sharing. I am expecting in five weeks. Your vid was awesome! My husband (first timer) took notes from yours! :D High five to you both! From the Adams'.

WOW YOU WERE HUGE

[nursiepoo81]

You give hope and inspiration for VBACs. I feel robbed from a C-Section and unfortunatly with the politics of the monopoly that runs the hospital system down here there is no chance for VBAC because they won't give up a waiting OR for it. Maybe I can find somewhere to do it outside of Southwest Florida once I'm a RN and can move!

[purpleisoius]

Yeah you SURE did make a baby MONTHS AGO LADY! its called "sex" FAGGIT!

[TiffieTube]

I also had a VBAC and i was so proud that *I* did it!!!! I was able to push my son out on my own....i always felt there was something "missin" from my first sons birth. My first son was taken from me my second son i gave to the world. Everyone asks me if the healing time is why i prefer vaginal birth and I say no...its a sence of pride I held my head up high for 3 months after he was born I felt "complete" as a woman. C-Section is so unnatural vaginal is the best gift anyone can get.

I was amazed by the difference btwn my two birth experience (the c-section and birth experience)....I could not believe it I had my vbac...I seemed so natural...my vbac experience was beautiful and I could not believe it....I was sucessful at my vbac "attempt"...I bonded with my baby right away because he was not whisked away from me like my daughter was with my c-section.....alot of people are misled by the media and there caregiver (like I was with my c-section)....

[LaPescada1988]

Amen Sister!!!! I completely understand and agree

[kittynitty82]

Before I had my Vbac everyone in my family discouraged me from having one (including my mom) but I decided early on that a natural birth is safer for my baby and me....so i decided that a Vbac was the way to go...I did all the research and did not find any real strong proof that uterine rupture is as common as doctors make you think....

[kismutt1]

@kittynitty82 It is not as common as you think? I beg your pardon? If it wasn't for the privacy act by hospitals thousands of video's could be posted of women coming into emergency after a home delivery by VBAC, because the tore badly, hemoraging, prolapse etc.

[ayles5104]

had my vbac! my waters broke but i didnt labour so i was also induced which is what they warn you from... i delivered in 40mins 2 an 8lb 8oz little man! no complications apart from his shoulder got stuck! other than that i had a perfectly fine and care free vbac! thought id post it on here because the positive outcomes are not spoken about as much as the risks!! good luck to everyone having a vbac!! dont be put off! as youve seen here on this vid... it can be done if you want it!!!

[ayles5104]

im trying for a vbac this time im due next week!, im so scared! although im gunna try my best!! your vid has given me abit more hope!!

it also near made me cry the pic of you and your 2 sons "last time as mum of two!" im gunna take one of me and my daughter! lol

Believe in yourself, if you don't want this really badly, it will be taken away from you. Surreound yourself with good people who will not sabotage your VBAC. YOU CAN DO THIS!

[kismutt1]

@bxintx What do you mean surround yourself with good people? You WERE sourrounded with a good DOCTOR. VBAC could do nothing and did nothing. You baby was delivered healthy because of the doctor, not VBAC.

[catkoot1]

Im really happy your baby is healthy. However do you really think it was prudent to have a home delivery after having 2 c-sections? What if something bad happend suddently, and you wernt able to make it to the hospital in time to save the babys or your life. Every one is entitled to their own opinion. But i cant say i agree with home births. Sure there more comfortable but it seems selfish, should the saftey of the baby not come before the comfort of the mother?

[heatheryk]

The fact is that the USA ranks 41rst in the world in Maternal and Neonatal mortality. The countries that have the best statistics have high rates of home birth w/ midwives and only high risk women even see a doctor for pregnancy. It is statistically safer for low risk women to have a baby at home that in a hospital. VBAC women have only a very small % of complications when they are not medicated. Heather-SRN, Student Midwife

[bxintx]

I did a vast quantity of research about the birth of my 3rd child. Yes, VBAC is safe, you have a lower risk of 'something' going wrong than a first time mother. I had also givne birth vaginally (1st child) before which also makes it safer. My ideal would have been a midwife in a hospital with a dr in the background just in case. But, this is the US, not other westernized European countries, so that option was not available to me. I did my homework and chose the safest way for baby and me.

It took a wile to warm up but then it got SOO hot!

[sianelz0o0]

arrrhhhhhh wot a cute bby hope hes doin fine x

[mykemikomikamigs]

congrats!! i was suppose to deliver my 3rd child by VBAC but mine was not succesfull. it turned out as emergency cs.

[26alexther]

You are so brave. I also will be having VBAC but I'm a little scared due to the risks but still I want a normal delivery. And u definetely inspired me much more

[chaunnykins]

congrats!! i am hopefully going to have a vbac this june.i am quite nervous and dont know what to expect.. any advice?

[proudmommyto3]

i had a vag birth with my first and an unexpected emerg c-section after 23 hours of labour with my second and this time around i am hoping to have a successful VBAC!! lets hope

congrats! he is beautiful!

[bxintx]

Believe in yourself is the best advice I can offer. "I've done this before, I can do it again." Its the best way to bring your baby into this world, as you know. Congrats on your pregnancy.

[BellydancingMama]

Congrats to you! As a fellow vbac mother I totally can relate. My vbac is what I am proudest of so far my life. To know that I accomplished something that so many are against here in the States is a very very empowering feeling. My son will be a year next week and I still feeling awesome!! Congrats!!
