VBAC looking like another C.....

[bon]

My midwife at my antenatal appointment was talking about this the other day - she told me that often with second and subsequent babies the head doesn't tend to go right down until the very last minute - for many women, it won't happen until they are actually in labour.

Your body sounds like it is definitely ready for the birth I don't really have any advice on how to prepare for a c/s, but I agree that relaxation and mentally "letting go" will help. I am trying to work on that myself atm! Also, think about the kind of experience you would like if you do have a c/s - what would help make it a more positive thing for you? Forming a birth plan might help get your thoughts together and feel more in control of what happens.

I meant to add before - my daughter did not engage until she was ready to be born. I was made to sit on the bed & not move for fear of a cord prolapse - when she did move down it was right before she crowned.

Macca grab that DH of yours and DTD heaps and heaps. Nothing like natural postogladins to help get labour moving. Also try nipple stimulation. Oh don't forget to have lots of O's too. I've got everything crossed for you.
I agree with Michelle. Your mind is such a powerful tool with childbirth. Have a beautiful relaxing bath and let go and get our mind in the right place (easier said than done I know).
YOU CAN DO IT!!! Best of luck.
