Hang on guys and gals, the post says unsure about VBAC, I have a sneaking suspicion by that last SMS that it wasn't but could be wrong.

Either way - CONGRATS HON!!! You waited, you trusted your body and it happened. Well done and all the best for your bigger family

yes it was a VBAC ... 8 hrs from start of *active labour* till birth , 30 mins pushing , had pethadine shot to help me sleep but ctx got the better of me and midwives were surprised at the progress , got on the gas and asked for an epidural , never got one as i was 9cms when she check and she was born half an hour later !!

i cant not belive i actually did it ... i was in denail i was in labour and still didnt believe it even when i was admitted ... i thought they were goign to give me pethadine and send me home

will post the birth story fully soon !!
