So Leonie P I just noticed your hoping for a vaginal birth after 2 C/S Have you booked into a hospital that allows you to do this? I am just curious as our hospital doesn't offer this (unfortunately) but I know some do and women around this area do travel to other places for this. A friend of mine is having no 4 and she has had 2 C/S and I vaginal delivery. She is having a VBAC this time however the hospital said her labour has to start on its own and not go past 41weeks. She has gone to 41+3 with them all and had 3 IOL. I am just curious hope you dont mind me asking
Hi Emmy, no I don't mind you asking,actually I love sharing.
Yes I am having him at the Gold Coast Hospital.
After my fisrt appt the Midwife I saw told me there was no way of attempting a and when I protested she gave me a "we'll see at your 36wk app't" which was full of "I'll let the next sucker deal with you".I left the foom in tears and cried the whole way home. I decided about 3 wks ago that I would do some research and see just what the go was and found overwhelming support for a VBA2C as opposed to a repeat C/S.I decided to make another ante-Natal appt and got a much more supportive Midwife who I had actually seen a few times during my previous pregnancies. She took my case out and the OBs had a pow-wow, eventually they both came back into the room to discuss it with me.I asked a whole heap of questions to which he had no good case to support anrepeat C/S soreluctantly allowed me to attempt one.
I would advise your friend to try accupuncture to get the ball rolling.
