Hi there,

I was very apprehensive about having a c-section, but after having DD via elective c-section, not sure if I could mentally prepare myself for a VBAC when the time comes for number 2.

I had a spinal block and although I passed out (my fault for not advising the dr's of my reactions to anesthetics), I was happy with the whole process. I recovered really well and walked the length of the maternity ward the next morning. I took painkillers as offered/advised in hospital and only a few doses of panadol once I came home.

I was not aware of this site when I was pg, and had only heard horror stories about c-sections, so I was very freaked out, but all the staff were great at calming my nerves when they knew of my apprehensions.

HTH a little and GL..
