@TheTwinlover I made it to 5 cm without any pain medication. I was throwing up from the pain. I decided to get an epidural, which wonderfully removed the pain and helped my body relax. I've had another baby after this one, and I got an epidural right away. Both babies were born active and cry...

  For my VBAC, my son was 10 days overdue. Tell the doctors that you want to go to 42 weeks, which is the normal allowable "overdue" pregnancy. You will probably go into labor before 42 weeks. Remember that you are in charge of your own body, not the doctors. They have no right to touch you wit...

  @1217jacqueline That is interesting, Jacqueline, and I'm sorry for your troubles with the prolapsed uterus. I have not heard of higher rates of prolapsed uterus due to VBAC. I have had two VBACs and I didn't experience any troubles with prolapsed uterus, even with a 10 pound 6 ounce baby VBAC. ...

  @katie7293 I am glad you are doing your research about VBACs. Today, doctors just follow the protocol they are taught in medical school, which is "once a c-section, always a c-section." They forget that each patient is an individual and should be treated as such! Not to mention that doctors ge...

  @DaughterOfYashua I had other medical issues (brain tumor and brain surgery) which postponed our second pregnancy quite a bit. There were 4 years between my first two births. BUT our 3rd baby (VBAC also) was born only 13 months after the baby you see in this video. You can see I have done both...

  Just because you have had a C-section does not mean that you are forever going to have c-sections! Do not let your OB tell you this and destroy your confidence. If your OB does not support your plans for a VBAC, find a new OB. Most young doctors are never taught about VBACs. But there are sti...

@jadoredashboard Hey! I put this video together myself and I realize that it appears that I never even held my own baby once! Of course that is not true. But it does appear that way in the video due to the editing.

  @Cachitodecielo1 Hey! Best of luck with your VBAC. You will do great!! I really loved Rebecca. It is so worth it to have a VBAC. Initially, I sort of regretted it because my baby was 10 pounds 6 ounces and I had some damage because of his size. But I healed up fine and I am so glad I did it!...
