starting to freak out!!!!

I had to have a c/s last pregnancy due to pre eclampsia. This pregnancy I have GD with no PE (so far). I am insulin dependent so I have been told that they will induce me between 38 and 39 weeks. The problem is that because of the last c/s they won't use the gel or the drip to induce - only a balloon catheter with AROM. What if it doesn't work???? I will end up with a c/s anyway so I'm wondering if I shouldn't just book it in now and save myself all the stress and hassle. I'm also doing the cord blood storage to add just some extra stress on top (guy has to come from Sydney to collect) Am I an idiot for trying for a vbac with all the complications or should I still try and then accept a c/s if it is needed. This is doing my head in. Please help with some advice

awww try not to stress, though i know that must be so hard. if it were me, i think i would try for a VBAC. i think if i didn't and really wanted one, i would always be wondering, 'i wonder if i could have had it.....' i think it would be easier (maybe for me personally anyway) to try for a VBAC, but kind of prepare myself for a c/s just in case, so that if it does happen, i could say well at least i tried......does that help? hope you come to a decision that suits how you're feeling and what you want, and hope the birth goes okay xoxo

Sorry, I am going to be one of those annoying people who post with no advice, but I wanted to wish you all the very best. I hope it all goes well and you have a lovely birth - just as you want it to be!

As a "more mature" woman ttc, women like you are heroes to me.

Take care :)
