I really dont know about a VBAC. When I had Bella I had an angled episiotomy(not the straight one) as she got stuck and came out posterior but also head sideways, with the use of forceps. Instead of me tearing off the episiotomy, all of my skin etc just shattered. Apparently it was not just a tear, they said I shattered. I had internal tears aswell as the ones on the outside. I get fissures a lot easier aswell.
I really think a double appointment and also a big talk to my aneasthetist would help. I am hoping to look into the calming aspect, because I think it would really help.
The hospital is REALLY supportive in c/s births. I had the option to see Eithan born, but couldnt deal with it, and would have been able to hold him straight away, but I just couldnt deal with a crying baby while I was having so much trouble. I was able to hold him skin to skin as soon as I got to recovery as I felt better. I was also able to hold him for the bed trip back up to the ward and into my room. They didnt take him away from me once, and really encouraged the time together and BF, however the BF took me a while to feel up to, but they are really good with the whole bonding process. He was only taken to be weighed, and that was in a set of scales brought into my room.
So I know that they have good c/s practices, it is just getting over the anxiety of it all, at the moment, I think.
Again, sorry for no personals. But you have all helped me soooo much. I truly appreciate all of your thoughts on this matter. Will update again after I see my OB.
HI guys, had my OB visit and it turns out both of the twins are extremely unco-operative with their placement. Presenting twin is bum breech and the other is transverse. So no vbac anyway. Plus after discussions I have decided to have a c/s. The Ob was lovely she is booking me in to see the aneasthetist early so that I can have a big chat to them about what happened last time and what we can do to stop it happening again.
I have been meditating and visuallising a nice experience, and all in all am feeling a lot better. I am sure I will be nervous on the day, but that's normal.
Thank-you so much for all of your support. Cant wait to post my birth story, hopefully it's better than the last one.
I have been wondering how you were going and so happy to hear that you have been meditating and visualising a good birth for your twins! Thats excellent that you can have a good chat with your Anethetist I totally reccomend it, I spoke with mine twice 3 days before and he gave me time to decide what I wanted to chose with the drug options of epi or epi/spinal or just spinal block and gave me the pros and cons for all three options and then saw me an hour before Tara's birth to confirm I still have the same decision and then assured me everything was going to be fine in the anethetist room when he gave me the spinal.
