Has anyone been in similar boat. I'm 23 weeks so still a long way to go but the birth and hope for VBAC has been on my mind ever since i fell pregnant. When talking about potentials for what the birth may be like and what options we would go for if things don't happen naturally, DH is very quick to jump to section because he doesn't want me to go through any risks. Most recently I said that I may consider drip if the induction didn't work and he said that he couldn't go through watching me on the drip again, that it was too intense and he would have to leave the room etc. I know that the birth is my body etc but I'm also getting conscious that traumatic birth was probably traumatic on him as well as me.
Has anyone had any experience similar where they have had differing opinions on their birth with their DH? How did you get on the same page and know where to compromise and when to stick to guns? I want to stay positive and think that I can do it but I'm not sure how to do that if my DH is going to freak out and not be my advocate...
