I am currently 19 weeks pg with dc2, and next week I have my consultant appointment to discuss my options.
History: Dd was an ELCS due to breech presentation, and I found the whole experience entirely positive.
So, for my own reasons (none of which are medical, I might add) I think I would like to have another CS. Now, I have it on good authority from a well-known MN doula , that my hospital is Pro-VBAC, and that my consultant is a "VBAC Expert". This has obviously made me a little nervous about the fortcoming conversation. This is coupled with the fact that although I am generally quite a bolshy (not my most attractive quality ) person, I tend to be struck dumb when confronted with medical professionals.
I have a feeling that I will allow the consultant to talk me into a VBAC, and then come out and start panicing about it.
I have a list of questions written down, but I am just wondering, is it really my choice? I assume the consultant has to authorise my request. Any experiences or advice gratefully received.
TIA
