I want to do it again!

Wow, my VBAC was such a different experience to my c/s, I still can't get over it.

After having DD1 I could not even imagine wanting to have another baby ever again, LOL. Even though I wanted four kids eventually, which was a bit of a worry. I was dreading it all, even after the birth having a newborn to look after. It seemed so overwhelming last time. Probably partly being a first time mum but I think a lot of it was the birth and feeling so ****ty afterwards that everything just seemed so difficult.

It wasn't until DD1 turned one that I started thinking I might be ready for another baby soon. And then along came DD2 and everything just went perfectly for me. It is so different to last time, everything seems so easy even though I don't think DD2 is any easier than DD1 was. I feel like I'm still on a high from her birth :D

I want to do it again!! I remember reading threads of people who had babies who weren't very old saying they wanted another one and thinking they were absolutely crazy :rofl: But now I can't wait til next time! I didn't imagine birth could actually be enjoyable. Hard work, sure, but I actually enjoyed it :) Give me another go at it! lol.

PMSL!!!

I felt exactly the same way.

Which is why DD3 now exists ;)

But as much as I want to do it again (even now!) - I'm too old for the whole pregnancy thing now - 4 in 4 years has pretty much ruined me, and I just couldn't do another pregnancy.

Shame really. I'd do the birth - just not the 9 months prior.. LOL

I know EXACTLY how you feel :)

Congrats on your VBAC

I'm so glad that you had a great birth. I had a c/s with DD due to alot of things. She was in breech, was the main issue. And I'm looking forward to (hopefully) having a VBAC with my next kid. Planning to start TTC in October/November.

Every successful VBAC story I read is so inspiring to me and places so much hope within me that I'll get my VBAC.

Thank you for inspiring me, Heaven.

Oh I feel exactly the same, would LOVE to do it again!! Don't think I'll be having any more though. Was such an awesome experience :)

Heaven your crazy LOL You can do it for me if you want!? Not sure why i'm not looking forward to the whole birth thing, i mean i've had to relatively easy births no tears only a very slight graze even to the point with DS2 i was expecting that sting you get when you go to the loo but nope not even that last time. Think i will just stick to my plan i've always had in my head and used and worked well for me - Just go with the flow.

i feel exactly the same too....people asked how the birth went and id say ''it was great, really good...i enjoyed it'' i think some people presume ive misheard the question :)

im so glad that you had a great experience. congrats

I am another one who felt the same which is why we have three under 4. But I am another one who couldnt put myself through it again with the problems I have at the end 3 beautiful children and two vbac's are enough for me.

I felt the same way after Nat's birth but having a small baby put me off going through it again. Then with Phoebe I was pleased I wouldn't be doing it again but really enjoyed the small baby phase! After both births I felt like wonder woman though, so I understand your glee :D
Congratulations again, mate. I'm sure next time will be just as wonderful and awe inspiring.

Yes, I am a little crazy, lol. But glad to see I'm not the only crazy one.

Not crazy at all, I never had a c/s but my birth and recovery after ds was not at all what I expected and I had a fair bit of damage and trauma so im hoping my next labour feels the the equivelant to a VBAC itms?

Awesome. Lovely to hear.

You're not crazy.... I can't wait to give birth again either.... Any hour or day now :dance: the hormone high afterwards is unreal.

I prefer the labour and birth to 9mths of pregnancy!! Bring it on! The pregnancy is the hard part.

After I gave birth to DD I knew I could do anything!!!!!

I feel the same way, although I didn't have a VBAC. I can see why birth can be a bit addictive. It's ace.

Can not wait for this second VBAC! And even more excited about having 4 under 4! So if your crazy I must be insane!!

What a wonderful experience for you hun :hug: I'm so glad it was everything you wanted and more!! I felt the same after DS2 - DS1 wasn't a c-section but I did have an epidural, and the difference in how I felt after DS2 without drugs was amazing. After DS1 there was another mum who had a baby just before me, who was up changing nappies and walking around almost straight away and there I was barely able to get up for a couple of days. After DS2 I was walking around immediately and couldn't believe how great I felt.

So is there going to be another PA soon??

hahaha, well no not yet! I would like to but I better look after the ones I've got first :rofl: Won't get pregnant til after DD2 has been BF for at least a year. Seems such a long way away!

People think I am crazy when I say I lOved giving birth. I describe it like having a really hard massage. It is painful, but a good pain.
We won't be having any more though. Oh and I HATED being pregnant!
