I've got an appointment at the VBAC clinic (good innovation) next week and want to get my thoughts/questions in order. First labour was mostly in water and not too bad - but the community midwife has warned me that a water birth probably won't be available for me this time because of the previous c-section. Sooo...
Was your VBAC quite a medical experience? Did you have an epidural? Were you on continuous monitoring? Was it OK?
I hated the monitor first time around and I'm dreading continuous monitoring being recommended this time. I'd love to hear from anyone who had monitoring and found it fine - I don't really want to refuse it if it's recommended...
I don't mind hearing the bad stuff as well as the good - I really just want to be prepared to talk sensibly to a midwife about my pain relief options.
