Thanks so much guys...
Kellie...the info. you sent through was fantastic...
My Ob. contacted me today and has let me know that he is very happy for me to go for a VD!!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!
He has contacted a professor who specialises in the area of embolisation and fibroids who said that there was no increased risk of uterine rupture...
There are two increased risks: one is for breech or transverse positioning (which thankfully I don't have...but the baby is currently posterior!) and secondly, the placenta can be a bit denser...which could cause difficulty when it needs to separate from the uterus...but the Ob. will put some extra precautions in place (e.g. have blood ready for a transfusion)...
He said that having a c-section or VD wouldn't influence the risk of difficult placental delivery...
Anyway...I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to birth through VD...now it's time to really get my head around it!!!
Many thanks for your support guys...so appreciated!!!
