How long ago was your last baby. And then how far apart were your two pregnancies. I think it could be possible. But a lot of doctors won’t do it. Was your second a scheduled c section or emergency?

DO IT!!! i just had a successful vbac2 with my youngest baby. i got majorly fear mongered but if you are fit and well. go for it and really educate yourself so you have an answer for everything. you have to be super super determined because they are so pushy. check NICE guidlines. u can actually have up to 4 c sections and still have vbac . you got this! reach out to me if you need to x

My OBGYN practice is with Penn Medicine and they will not do a VBAC after two c sections. Way too risky

also just for reference both my c sections for emergency. infact my failed first vbac was a category 1 emergency c section. which is the most complicated one . cut an artery in the process of that c section too so its still possible girls. i had a big gap but again if u research having anything more than 2 years is fine . isnt more successful if u have 10 year gap

aslong as u avoid induction and let your body do what it needs to do. you will be monitored throughout too

Elective C-section

Guys I'm 13 weeks but I'm already extremely terrified of birth and specially tearing and injuries down there. I'm thinking I'd rather suffer the pain from the c section than going through natural labour. I like the thought of everything being planned and I'd know what's going on. Any of you in a similar situation?

Changed due date

Anyone had their date change at 12 weeks scan?

I used my last period and also fully tracked ovulation, I had a due date Oct 10.

In my 12 week scan they said Oct 15

Now I don’t know which to use as I know the 12 week scan can place things wrong due to the tiniest millimetre off measurement

What did others go by and what was accurate?

Second baby here!

Damp pants.. can your waters go incredibly slowly lol

Or did I pee šŸ˜…

I woke up this morning with a damp patch in my undies that I noticed when I pulled my pants up after a wee.. I did smell it and it doesn’t smell like wee and I got my husband to smell (lol) and it didn’t smell like wee to him either but I’m also very hydrated...

I have sat over the toilet and nothing is dripping out of me so I think maybe I just lost a bit of wee over night or just before I noticed?
I’m 39+3 FTM

No other real symptoms of labour just heavily pregnant discomfort

Fried rice noodles šŸœ

The first craving my Asian ancestors in my body is asking for during my first trimester.šŸ˜Ž
I went from no appetite to have three bowls of them straight šŸ˜‚
I feel pretty healthy too as I added in lots of bean sprouts, carrots cabbage, onion and broccoli for veggies; eggs, tofu and beef meatballs for protein.
Ahhh I am just so happy šŸ˜€

Birthday

So idk if this would be considered bd drama, but he just texted me ā€œhappy birthdayā€ my birthday isn’t until April 20th, we’ve known each other since 2024. And I just feel a little sad that he doesn’t know my birthday. Should I appreciate that he tried? Or be upset that after all this time he still doesn’t know my birthday?

Early labour

So it has been a bit of joke with my husband that I won't realise when I'm in the early stages of labour as I will just crack on (I had a cyst 18 months ago which I just got on with as I didnt want to bother anyone)
Anyway to the point I'm 39+6 with our first. I've had loose BM for a couple of days and go to bed feeling sick for the last 3 nights. I have had a few cases of quite intense cramping but it only lasts a few seconds. Is this is all signs my body is preparing itself. I don't see my midwife till I'm 40+3 so can't ask her till then?
I haven't lost my mucus plug or atleast not noticeably.
