ask Debbie or Gina on this site they have loads of experience with different problems that arise with VBACs. Sure there is nothing to worry about. ask here

Are you taking any iron supplements?
You should have OJ with meals and avoid tea around food

Watercress and Guiness!!
Different areas seem to have different guidelines.
My GP started giving me iron injections at 9, but the Maternity Hospital said that they wouldn't have done.
Hope you can get it sorted
