Is anyone a second time mum thinking about birth plan?

Hey ladies, I’m a second time mum and my first resulted in an emergency c section, due to labour not progressing. I’d really love to have a vbac this time, but worried about going through the whole labour progress, just to result in a c section again. Is anyone else in the same boat? What birth plan are you thinking this time? I know there’s still time to do research, but it’s already a concern!

For fun

I was inspired by a post I saw earlier. For those already married. What is your relationship with your bridesmaids currently like vs. When you got married?
I'll start: i thought these girls were the best of friends but my wedding day taught me otherwise. I talk to 2 out of the 4 on a daily basis. One I occasionally talk to still. But one of them I have not spoken to since the wedding.
Bonus if you share pic from your wedding day :)

Big baby?

Hi, has anyone had a similar experience to me?

I’ve been told my baby is on the bigger side. They were not worried about all measurements, but at 39 weeks his abdominal circumference (belly) is measuring on the 97th centile. They said they would recommend either induction or a C-section while his growth isn’t too excessive. His estimated overall growth is on the 86.6th centile, so he’s bigger than average but not considered extremely large he is 3,775g which was 38+5

I’m exactly 39 weeks tomorrow and will be seeing a consultant to discuss it. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you decide to do, and how big was your baby (centile and birth weight)? Was it just the baby’s belly measuring large, or was the whole baby measuring big?

Also, does anyone know why only his belly would be measuring large while the rest of him isn’t?

Did your second child come sooner?

Just preparing myself incase! I had my little girl at 37+3 weeks and I’m due my boy in September but from people’s experiences should I be expecting him sooner? I know it’s not possible to know for definite but I’m really not prepared this time around😂 so which birth for you came sooner? Your first or second?
