Vbac

I need all the moms to comment about their VBAC! I need to know how long you waited and your experience during the labor good or bad!! Is it worth the risks ?
For example I only did a c section because I didn’t progress with my induction (I had pupps) but I also didn’t really feel like I got a chance too I never actually ever went into labor. My first C-section and I’m 12 months postpartum and would like to wait 18m to start trying

My vbac was amazing. I got pregnant 10 months pp so my kids are 19 months apart. I was gonna. Be induced but they canceled it day of but I went into labor on my own. My labor was 32.5 hours. I started contractions around 6 am and I think around 4 or 5pm we went in to get check. I wasn’t progressing enough so they sent me home and said if my contractions get worse then to come back. I came back maybe around 11pm ish and got the epidural around midnight. I would definitely wait to get the epidural as long as possible if you plan to get it. So you can still walk around and have gravity help baby move down. Then I just laid in bed and shifted and tried to sleep until i had her at 2:30 the next day. I suggest pushing on your side instead of back whether you have an epidural or not. And breath through bushing instead of holding your breath.

With my first baby I had an emergency c-section, I got pregnant with my second baby 9 months postpartum, so I was not a candidate for VBAC, even so I was able to give birth to my second baby naturally and unmedicated because it was a very fast delivery, I started with contractions at 11:15pm, I was at my parents' house because I was going to spend the weekend there, I wanted to wait for the contractions to advance a couple of hours, but my mom forced me and my husband to leave quickly, at 11:30pm we left, I arrived at the hospital at 12:03am, they admitted me, they checked me and I dilated super fast and I screamed that I wanted an epidural or to be taken to the operating room but it was already very late, I had a c-section scheduled for 2 days later, but God's plans were different and at 12:29am my baby was born, it was a very fast delivery

I feel like I've fallen into a TV trap with my toddler

We did no screens up until I fell pregnant with baby number 2 and my only way to survive the sickness and fatigue was to allow 1 show per day. It started at 30 minutes now it's an hour and twice a day.

We get up at 7am have breakfast, get outside, attend a toddler class or playgroup then when we get home I let her watch nursery rhymes for 45 minutes whilst I make lunch. Then she eats, naps for 1 hour, wakes, we then play together, head outside again then she gets 1 hour around 4pm of tv whilst I cook dinner. Then she eats at 5pm and we go to the park after dinner before coming home for bath and bedtime routine, bed at 8pm.

I feel like it went from nothing to almost 2 hours per day quite quickly. Is this really bad?

She's almost 2.

1st birthday ideas

Anyone started planning their babies 1st birthday? Any ideas on gifts and what to do? My little one is quite shy and doesn’t like being overwhelmed so will need something low stimulating

How do everyone feel in between scans and checks?

I’m 18+6 weeks atm, and have the 20 weeks scan coming up in couple of weeks but I have anterior placenta and can’t feel anything at the moment! How do I know if the baby is okay? And what do everyone do to reassure themselves everything is okay? I’m also worried about the upcoming scan, as it’s a big scan and have worries like what if the baby has this or that. What should I do?

Hospital room set up

For those of you giving birth on the labour ward, do you have plans to bring your own things from home like battery candles, fairy lights, a diffuser?
