Positive VBAC stories please :)

[~mamaspice~]

I know there are quite a few of you out there. And even an increasing amount of VBA2Cers too

I thought it would be nice to have a thread where people can share their positive VBAC journey and add to the inspiration of future VBACers like me

[Arimeh]

Umm.. what kind of things are you looking for honey?

[~mamaspice~]

Anything you want to add, a quick summary of your story, your best tips, whatever! Oh and maybe even if the VBACers on BB posted a link to their birth story in this thread so that all the VBAC birth stories could be found in the one place

Heya MamaSpice.

I had Logan in May, and he was my VBAC bubba. I had a doula, which I found really helped. She hasn't written my birth story up yet, but when she does, I'm pretty sure she will post it on here.

The one thing that I would have done differently, is stayed at home a little longer.
I also did heaps and heaps of research when I was pg.
I would of also birthed in a different position, but by the time I was ready to push, I just wanted him out!

HTH

Hmm ok.

Tips from me
* Trust your scar won't rupture.
* Trust your body knows what its doing - even if its scaring you half to death
* Don't try and crawl away from the pain cos it doesn't work
* Read LOTS of stories - there is no reason why you can't achieve it.

Support it the key to a successful VBAC. Having people arround you that know you can do it.
