very true Paws, in excellent hands, and I can't sing enough praise for the midwives at the hospital either.

It is scary going for a VBAC after emergency c/s. In the month before my VBAC I was so freaked out. I wanted either VBAC or c/s but NOT both and NOT emergency LOL.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 09:06:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169621&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169621 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169596&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169596 Author: Paws

That's pretty close to how I feel to. Maddie getting stuck is something we'd need to consider as well. At least we know for both of us we're in good hands!! ]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 08:11:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169596&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169596 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169593&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169593 Author: Sarah Beth

The article was talking a lot about the risks involved in c-sections and I guess although I sort of knew some of them it just kind of bought it home.

For example, a c-section carries increased risk of post natal depression, problems breast feeding both of which we all know but what I didn't know what that it also carries increased chance of rupture and maternal death.

I was also great to read the comment of a VBAC woman and how amazing she felt to manage the VBAC. Made me really think that while and elective c-section could be the "easy" way out in that I wouldn't have to go through labour it doesn't mean it's the best way.

Sure I'll still be dreading labour, how vividly I remember that pain but there is a bigger part of me that would really prefer a shot at a VBAC.

In the end it will depend on the recommendation of the hospital OB when the time comes but we'll see. I still may not be given an option and if that's the case fair call I'm happy to go with that.]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:31:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169532&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169532 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169437&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169437 Author: busymum

I picked up the lastest Practical Parenting and there is an excellent article on c-sections. Granted it is an Australian mag but it helped me decide that I want to go for a VBAC with number 2 if I'm allowed. ]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 19:53:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8636&PID=169375&title=excellent-article-in-practical-parenting#169375
