Looks like I'm having a VBAC...

[BabysMomma]

and I'm cacking it...thought I'd be all happy to go au naturale...but now I know I'm panicking Placenta is still low, but baby's head is below it so consultant said it'll be fine to have a VBAC.

So have booked in for antenatal classes to see if they help ease any concerns.

Oh flip ladies x

Good luck hun!

I had an emergency csection with my first, it was horrific. Definitely not the birth i'd hoped for... i don't rememember a lot of the first moments and the recovery was slow. Look forward to the day i WILL successfully have a VBAC. Want to know what it feels like more than anything It's natural to be scared but im sure your midwife and consultant can put your mind at rest...as well as the lovely girls on here xxxx

You will do great! It's normal to be nervous about something you have never been through. My first was and emergency c-section. A complete nightmare! My second was a VBAC. Hopefully, my third will be the same. They were two completely different experiences. I loved being able to hold my daughter right after she was born. I was able to get up and walk around and I actually felt really great. Hopefully, your experience will be just as beautiful.

I've never experienced a C - section hun or a birth at all so not much advice here. But I'm sure you'll be fine

i share your thoughts and fears on birthing. My antenatal class is tomorrow and we have booked ourselves on a hypnobirthing course this weekend. Happy to let you know what my thoughts are of hypnobirthing course.

All I cling to is that women in centuries past gave birth with no drugs and despite the pain survived. we are in with a chance!

look at it that you get to experience something fantastic and natural. dont worry yourself about it too much as you will be fine. im sure it will be amazing and afterwards you will wonder what you were worrying about. xxx

Thank you for your support ladies x

I've been doing some reading on VBAC and tbh I think that I'm gona have a panic attack! The info given is about the dangers of uterine rupture and how it can endanger baby's and mom's life etc etc

I'm really stressing now, so much so, that I could cry I really don't think that I can go through having a VBAC now and feel so let down by the lack of information provided at my appointments

I'm so deflated too as even though I was cacking a VBAC, I was looking forward to potentially having a "normal" birth...but I just don't feel that I'm up to that now.

Its times like this that I wish my Mum was still alive and she could talk some sense into me or just listen to my warbles.

Anyhoo ladies...I'm going off to I think cos I'm just gona stress more and more if I don't.

I apologise for the lengthy pessimistic post x
