vbac advice?

[angelsamongus]

Hello, I had my son on april 8th last year. He was born after 19 hours of labor 2 were pushing. he never came out that way. He was born via c section. The doc said my inside birthcanal was to small. I do not think that is true. I have done al ittle research and came up with somethings. I was given an epidural during labor for pain that slowed things down a bit. So they gave me patocin. Which I have heard if the baby does not come out soon they start to get worried so they suggest c section. i would like to try vbac but need feed back. I am only 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Please help!

I have no advice but I am going for a V-BAC this time really scared.

don't let the doctor pressure you into having a c-section, stick to your guns about it. I really wish I had done that. My doctors acted like they were all for a VBAC, but once I hit 30 weeks they started with their scare tactics.

First off, get a different doctor who Supports VBACs. Then, get your new doctor to get a copy of your file and find out what cuts were used on you to see if you even are a candidate for a VBAC.

Then, educate yourself on VBAC from all angles... Here are a couple of really good websites to get you started:

HTH!
