[Arilyserenee]

Big hug and kiss to you and your beautiful family. I'm 36 weeks and am dreading having a C-Section, especially since I only have 2 factors going against me. Being 30 and having had one prior c-section; first birth was natural but with induction. I just wanna try. Thanks for the video. Beautifully done!

[teeday6]

Congrats! What a blessing! I've been follwing stories like yours and am pleased to say that I just had my successful VBA2C last week! Thanks for the motivational videos..Now I too have a story to share!! God bless

[mandymommyof3]

Thanks for sharing! We found a Dr. that ICAN loves! He is who we are going through, We are pregnant with our 4th blessing and I am SO happy to see that YOU DID IT!!  <3 I have also had 3 C-sections and we really want more babies, but I do NOT want more surgeries. This gives me so much hope! Thank you hun!

[themendezes]

I have two children, two c-sections. I want more children, but I never want to experience a c-section again. This gives me hope and inspires me to do all I can to make my dream of delivering vaginally a reality! Thank you so much for this.

[lagirlzhot]

very inspiring... thanks 4 sharing >> I had a c-section and I'm now pregnant and looking 2 doing a VBAC..... I Hope God helps me through the way and I can do it!! It's my dream

[ktlynn01]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I had my VBA2C on Nov 13 of the same year! ;)

[MrsBrooke921]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I have had on C-section and plan on having a VBAC with my next pregnancy. Your story gives me hope.

[zeugirdorrehtaeh]

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!

[lovinmyirishman85]

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video. I have had three C sections and I said no more babies since the spinal block wore off after 15 mins with my last two and felt everything. I want more babies more than anything in the world. I am also plus sized but I know that I can do this thanks so much for giving me faith.

[edesiri99]

simply miraculous, thanks for sharing!

[allenanddana]

I cannot thank you enough for this video!! We just found out we were pregnant last week and immediately I became fearful of having my 3rd c-section. I am overweight and was concerned about whether that and 2 previous CS would affect my chances of a VBA2C, and after seeing your video I feel hopeful that I will be able to do it. Now I just need to research who supports VBACs in my area. Thank you again!!!

[DaughterOfYashua]

Awesome!

[ruthrodley]

Man you are AWESOME. I'm pregnant with #6, 5 previous c-sections (never laboured, dilated or anything- #5 I did 11hrs labour, before c/s, had hole in uterus, very thin). Would love to try VBAC again, but midwife and OB think it would be a very bad idea. Our prayers were answered going into labour with #5, but they wont let me do that again. But God is a miracle worker so who knows.

[frumlady]

Out of all the vbac videos I have watched on youtube, this has one has had the most impact on me, as you had many things going "against you". I cannot imagine getting preg at 6 weeks postpartum!?? And a VBA3C at the weight you were...You are like beyond courageous!

i am very happy for you and your family. Very happy. Congratulations

[minbombohead]

Congrats my first pregnancy was a c section i wanted to have a v back with my 2nd one but her heart droped so was forced again but its people like yourself who share there storys and let me know if i get pregnant again i still have a chance thanks for sharing your story

[l0mere]

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing!

[AsilayMithsay]

Congrats! You rock, mama. Beautiful video. I drove 2 1/2 hours for my VBAC, you are absolutely right about chosing your provider, Dr T is awesome.

[TheMekastar1]

I love this video and thank you for sharing. I am now six months pregnant with my fourth child and I've had three previous c-sections as well. You have gave me hope and determination that maybe I will be able to have the natural birth that I have wanted for years as well. Thank You!

[TheNeonAngel]

[proverbs31living]

Thanks for sharing!! A true inspiration to anyone who is believing God for a VBAC.

[uniqueandclever]

Fantastic, mama! It's so wonderful to see women have the birth they want despite everything stacked against them. And with a 10lb posterior baby, you proved in no uncertain terms that your body works VERY well! :) Thanks for sharing!

[BirthQuadCities]

[sheenanegans]

How wonderful to see your video! I am so proud of mom's who are able to have a vbac after multiple c-sections. I had my son by c-section 3 years ago and I am planning to have a home birth with my second child this July. Your story gives me and any other mom's inspiration. Thanks!

[WeThePeopleRleaders]

CONGRATS!

[sonia205]

Fantastic video - I am really pleased you too have got to VBAC, There is nothing more satisfying than knowing you delivered your baby, Not some strange doctor and operating team!

I've had one caesarean (2004) and had 2 home VBAC's .. Now pregnant with twins and again, Going to have a home VBAC.

Congradulations, I am really pleased for you x

[deedodawn]

Wow! Way to go, momma!

You have such a beautiful smile and a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. WE CAN!!

[Xakana]

I had my VBAC this year, which I started planning as the doctor was cutting my first out of me. I felt so betrayed by my cesarean--by the doctors, the nurses, my own body... it was an amazing feeling to actually push my daughter out.

I can't imagine having three cesareans... *hugs to you*

[keeperathome1970]

Thank you so much for posting this! I will be having a TOL after 6 c/s within the next two weeks...If any of you are Christians, please pray for me and my baby! Thank you so much! This video was an encouragement to me. I am still crying!

[jianniestrong]

[doulapam]

AWESOME!

[CricketsCreations]

THANK YOU! I've been watching videos today... I've had 2 TRAUMATIC c-sections, last child was 7 years ago. we just found out I'm 3 months along, I'm heavy set, and I want to do a VBAC! I have a midwife now and I am trying to get over my fears! Thank you!!!!

[momtodc]

What a great story! Congrats, you did great girl!!

I had an emergency c-section with my first son in '06 and a VBAC with my second son in "08, I had to drive 30 min to the next town over to do it but I did it! I am now pregnant with my third child due Sept '09 and am going for another VBAC!!

[aprilwithers78]

I've had 3 c-sections and have just dealt with the fact that it's my destiny, but you're video makes me have that twinkling that there is a possibility for me. Thank you!

[stephmeza]

Amazing video! You're an inspiration. I will be having an HBA3C when we get pregnant again. I love hearing stories like yours.

[hpfoutz]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[Cocopop100]

Keep your story alive and never let anyone forget what you did!!

[moretime255]

WOW

You are a strong and brave woman! I must tell you that I will use you as inspiration. I had 2 c-sections and would like to try for a VBAC for my third. I agree that is hard to find doctors that support you. But I know that I can do it just like you did.

[datimasa]

That is an amazing story! Thanks for sharing it. You did great!

[cadencemommy]

ICAN is so amazing! I wish that everyone, even people who have never had a c-section would just take some time and get to know what it is.

I am 19 wks 4 days and am planning my VBAC and I am very determined. (my midwife is 4 hours away!)

I just want to say thanks for sharing your wonderful story! Your kids are beautiful! =)
