I need some help from the ladys Vbac any one?

There is a great website called babyfit.com that focuses on having a healthy pregnancy. There are different groups that you can join and the one on natural childbirth is a great place for information on VBAC's. The girls are really nice there and several of them have even become nurse midwives. Also, when you are interviewing doctors fin out what their success rate for VBAC is.

Good luck! I agree with all the other posters about finding a very supportive doctor and good hospital, as the laws have changed recently some hospitals aren't as open to it (I think a doctor is required to be present as long you are in labor with a vbac, and some aren't willing). I wouldn't hesitate to shop around or interview OBs and find the one who was most accommodating and experienced with them.

I have several close friends who did Vbacs and were very pleased with the experience-it was a much better one for them than the original c-sec. I haven't been through that myself (3 natural deliveries). Best wishes and luck... and congratulations on your little blessing! I felt the same way about my third son-he must have been 'meant' to be because of the circumstances!

Wow thanks every one!!
We live smaller town but i know it happens here but i feel i would like to know both sides and one doctor told flat out no way he does not even try for vbac
my problem first was that her heart rate went way down and stayed down for too long and her cord was around her neck
so that was my only problem i know of
i will keep checking around but may have to give in and not try for vbac as our biggier towns are over 3 hours from us
But i will keep every thing in mind that you give and check any thing out and i am going to my doc to get blodd test and the such so i will have looong talk with him
But thanks again

I had both my two kids naturaly so I wouldnt know what to tell you. I imagine it would be hard. Just make sure you get doped up good when they ask you if you want it or not.

Personally, I chose not to use medications of any form with both of my kids as the information I found on the internet said that interventions (epidurals, vacuum, inductions, etc.) increased the chances of having needing a c-section. After my kids were born, I only took as many pain meds as needed. With my son, that turned out to be ibuprofen. With my daughter, it included narcotics (I had inexplicable hemmoraging and ended up going down for a d&c where they found nothing). If we have another child, I will again be going without pain meds as the pain only really lasts as long as the contraction (and I have back labor).
