Talk to me about VBACs

[mamablondie33]

I’ve had one natural delivery and one elective Csection (covid delayed a load of follow up tests/physio, and I had a bad tear during the first birth). But I haven’t really had too many problems following either births.

Planning on ttc baby 3 at the end of this year but already giving this some thought.

I just wondered if anyone had had (or attempted) a VBAC? What did your birth plan look like? Am I mad for even considering this? :)

I did it on DC2 after a horrible experience on DC1 that ended in a section after 40 hours of slow and horrific labour!

I used a hypnobirthing programme and I believe it's what got me through. I felt so calm and in control the whole time. I also made sure I was physically fit throughout my pregnancy (I soevt a lot of time with my feet up first time round ) Baby was 9 pounds and the birth was amazing (albeit a long time ago now!) I think if it's something you really want then prepare yourself physically and mentally as best you can and hope it happens - at the end of the day things change in a heartbeat as you know and the only thing that really matters is that baby arrives safely for you both.

Following. Had section after 26 hours of labour in June and due again in November really want to experience a natural birth
