Experiences of vbac delivery

[docpeppa]

Hi all,

I am really pleased, as I have been granted my requested vbac with this pregnancy.

I have been told that I will be monitored closely and won't be allowed to move around much, this concerns me as from experience I know I can't sit on a bed constantly while labouring. Standing and pottering around the room helps me cope.

Can anyone share their own experiences please? It will help give me an idea of what to expect.

Bit of background so no drip feeding -
1st baby, 30 hour labour natural delivery. no problems.
2nd pregnancy was ectopic and ruptured my womb.
2nd baby was planned section due to womb rupture.
3rd baby will be vbac.

I hated the recovery from a section and would rather labour for 30 hours than go through that again. So hence my request for vbac.
