Vbac

I had my c section over 2 years ago now with my first, and want a VBAC this time round. Is anyone else feeling the same way? Or is going for an elective c section better? My c section absolutely traumatised me the first time round and honestly don’t think i could do that again.

My section was 3 years ago with my first and I'm definitely hoping for a VBAC this time (unless there is some issue between now and birth that indicates a c-section would be needed). I didn't mind the surgery itself but I can't face doing the recovery with a 3 year old and a newborn as I found it pretty hard the first time round!

I'm also going for a VBAC after a c-section 3 years ago. I hope I can do it. However, I was induced in my first pregnancy and didn't love the experience so I have a scheduled c-section booked if I go over a certain date I just don't want to go through induction again

I had an emergency c-section with my first two years ago in May I found recovery fine and fortunately had no issues. However this time I am planning to go for a VBAC as I would really like to give it a try again. Last time I ended up with a pessary due to PROM. I think that my body wasnt ready yet and the pessary forced my body into it which led to the c-section. I may factually be wrong but I had no contractions at all and after the pessary they were constant front and back and babies heart rate kept dropping in the end xx

My baby girl was born April 19 🥺 how are we at 3+ months? When was your baby born 🎉

Did anybody else see the video of the man who took his newborn baby from the hospital?

So he took his newborn baby from the hospital and he's claiming that it's his baby he should be able to take his baby. So from the video the mom basically told him she didn't want him to take the baby to his house because they had had a domestic abuse situation and he said it doesn't matter because I'm her father so I'm taking her. There are people who are debating about this and are saying that a father should have a right to take their baby even if it is a newborn and then there are people who are saying that a newborn should be with their mother and they can work that out later but the newborn should be with their mother first. What do you think?

How did your 3rd csection go?

I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby..I have had 2 previous csection. 1 elective to my sleeping baby and 1 emergency for my first. I have to get a 3rd as my doctor has told me and that's fine as I would want one but I've just heard horror stories as you shouldn't go past 3. I would love the option of a another baby if it came to it but I'd be scared of another csection with more risks.

When did your first come?

Hi! I know people always say the first comes late, but my husband was 3 weeks early and just over 10lbs and I was over a week early and just under 9lbs, and our baby I measuring ahead by a few weeks (I know the 15% margin of error lol), so I’m trying to just have us prepared by November 1 since we’re due 12/3.

Has anyone here experienced having their first coming early just because they were “ready” to come out sooner? Inductions count, but I told my OB I only want one if I absolutely have to do it.

Just trying to be practical here and not feel crazy for wanting to have everything done an entire month before the due date including packed hospital bags and the car seat in the car 😅

30 weeks movements

Does anyone else’s baby have active days then quiet days seems like my baby will be active one day then quiet the next then active again the day after then quiet again just wondering if anyone else has had this pattern ?

Rolling

Is anyone's baby still not rolling? Mine seems to try when on her side but cant seem to make it. She is very strong lifting her head when doing tummy time. Is there anything you can do to help them or should I leave her to do it in her own time? First time mum so just looking for others experiences 🙂 she is also teasing us with laughs she smiles from ear to ear but has done a tiny laugh maybe 3 times
