I got my VBAC!

[Caro1302]

Just to let you know that I had a successful VBAC 4 days ago to bring Lydia Mary Kate into the world. I had a 3rd degree tear which needed stitching in theatre but even with that my recovery has been so much better than with my CS.

I am still a little in shock because my labour was very fast compared to first time. My CS was following 18 hours of labour, whereas the whole thing this time was 4 hours 23 minutes.

To anyone wondering whether or not to go for a VBAC, I can thoroughly recommend it

Congratulations Caro! And welcome to Lydia- so pleased for you! I am building up the courage to have a VBAC in January so all good news stories gratefully received

Good for you - congratulations!

Congratulations! Am really really pleased for you as I sadly didn't get mine recently, but know exactly how excited you must be to have done it!

Welcome to the world, Lydia Mary Kate

Hurrah! Congratulations!
Now you can say you've done it both ways!!

Bravo for your courage and your success!

well done, I had a VBAC 2 weeks ago and would highly recommend it too. congratulations

congrats
