Gosh Nai, WOW!! So glad you are able to tell your story, it is amazing how you knew something wasn't quite right. Just amazing! Enjoy every moment with your gorgeous little Juliette xxoo
OMG Nai, thank goodness you and baby Juliette are safe and sound. She is just divine BTW. Well done! Oh, and well done to you for posting this only 2 days post birth. AND have a new ticker and photo all sorted! You're a superwoman
Oh m y goodness Nai, definately very lucky that you trusted your instincts, and listened to your body!!!! My worst fear when trying for my VBAC.
I am so glad that it worked out well for you and baby Juilette and you are here to tell the story. Congrats on a job well done..
What an incredible, remarkable, miraculous birth Juliette had. Thanks for sharing it. Well done! You are my new hero and I hope I have/develop those kinds of instincts as a mum.
Thank you everyone - I really wanted to get everything down before I forgot and lost my memory to sleep deprivation! The hopsital has internet so DP brought the laptop in which is great.
I also wanted to add that I would have been lost without my wonderful support team - my DP Cory, my doula Kelly and my OB Nicola (yes middle name after her). Cory was great at making sure I didn't dismiss my instincts, Kelly's words "you are doing the right thing" got me through and Nicola basically saved our lives by getting us into theatre and getting Juliette out so quickly.
WOW Nai - good on you for following your instincts.
A huge congratulations to you and Juliette for her safe arrival, and to your fabulous support team. It must have been very reassuring to have a great Ob and Doula there with you.
Congratulations on the arrival of your darling daughter!
Congratulations on listening to your body, and speaking up and acting! You must feel really empowered! You have turned a very scary experience into something so positive.
Thank you for sharing such an important story, a cautionary tale, with us all.
I hope your recovery is swift and that you are home and settled with your bubby very soon.
Nai, Congratulations on the arrival of little Juliette. Wonderful news!!!
Sorry to hear about your uterine rupture. Mine ruptured during labour with DD2 (I was booked for a c/s but went into labour early) lucky they got me to theatre in time before anything really bad happend. I have now been told no more kids, are you able to have any more?
You had a brilliant support team to hold your hands and you must have felt so supported and nurtured. Good on you for trying for a VBAC and for knowing when to trust your instinct when it didn't feel right.
Love the ticker pic BTW! Genevieve must be smitten
Nai instinct is a wonderful thing and I am glad you listened, explained clearly and were checked over in time. Congrats on a safe birth of baby Juliette.
hugs hun and take care in your recovery

Firstly congratulations for listening to your body! 2ndly WOW i love both your girls names! Do you want more babies? Did your OB say anything about this? Could you just have a planned C/S early next time?
Thanks Milly! My OB said that her repair job was good for one more but she would have to deliver by c/s at 37weeks. However, we have made the decision that our family is complete and that another pregnancy would be way too stressful and fraught with anxiety so DP is booked in for the snip next month. No more babies for us!
Wow Nai, you most certainly do deserve a medal!!! That was such a touching story to me, I'm so glad that your outcome was that both you and your baby are safe, healthy and happy! Life is such a precious thing!
