Are there any successful VBAC stories?

I had a previous c section and I am hoping to have a VBAC this time around, I really need the motivation because I am scared shitless. Please share your stories around VBAC !! I am in the durham area and will be assigned to stouffville.

I had a VBAC at the Ajax hospital. I had to be induced and I thought I’d see if I needed the epidural. I definitely did..after I got it, I was laying in bed scrolling on my phone until the doctor said it was time to push hours later. I could not even feel the baby coming out, so it was not so bad….though I did get hemorrhoids after but the recovery time was less than with the C-section. As long as the doctor says a vbac is safe, I’d say go for it.

oh wow, I’m thrilled to hear you had a good experience at ajax hospital! My c section was there and it was a horrifying experience 😩

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
