Wow! What a story! Although it kind of scares me more in a way to know how hard it is going to be when it's my turn (16 weeks)- It's good to know that all the fears I know I am going to have, someone else had them too, and that there's an explaination for the different pain- other than a rupture... Which is my biggest fear! I am such a baby and when it comes down to it, I am probably going to act in the exact same way or worse. But reading your story, the fact that you DID IT makes up for all the embarassment in the world. I hope I have a VBAC story to tell that is as successful as yours...
