I've been given the "Green Light" to have a VBAC!!! Here I was so worried that I would have no choice but to have a c-section coz Bubs was lying transverse and now he has turned so he is head down AND he is even facing the right way!
Now all I have to do is keep him that way 
I got to have another scan too. I measured WAYYYYYY bigger than my dates so I'm looking at having another 9 pounder. Oh and also I'm only allowed to go 1 week overdue so that means that I will be having my baby in 8 weeks whether or not he wants to come out of his comfy spot. I'm soooooooooooo pleased that I can have the trial of labour, just hoping it goes well this time. ~Mental thoughts "I CAN DO IT!!!!"~ LOL! ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!

Lol I'm sooo happy. I was really dreading the thought of having to have a c-section... I know I still might have to have one if things don't go right but at least now I get a "trial of labour" instead of being forced into having an elective 
So I'm having "positive thoughts".....I can I can I CAN push this baby out!!! Tee hee hee! Lol sorry I'm on cloud Nine ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs! Soon to be surrogate |

Oh sorry, its a "Vaginal Birth After C-section". I didn't get to push my first out so I'm very excited its likely I will get to push this baby out like most people.
Lol my fiancee is going "so are ya ready to push a watermelon out of a keyhole???" Cheeky bugger!! ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs! Soon to be surrogate |

Yay that is good news. My doctor has told me that next time I am pregnant there is a 70% chance that I will be able to have a normal vaginal delivery, but I don't think I am as excited as you as I am the biggest wimp out there. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

to try to keep bubs sitting in the right position, instead of sitting on a couch or lying back, straddle a chair so the back of it is pressing into your stomach - obviously a kitchen chair or computer chair, not a laz y boy. if you keep sitting like this then the only comfortable position for baby is the RIGHT way..... well, its worth a try? ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe -  my big 4 year old

Hi ladies I'm still on Cloud Nine!
I'm doing my best to keep my posture in the right place to keep Bubs well positioned. Its actually quite hard, especially in the car, I've had to put a pillow under my bum to keep my pelvis tilted forward. I'm quite short so my fiancee Spencer has jokingly called it a "booster seat" & saying if I need to see over the steering wheel a phonebook would be better...Grrrz cheeky bugger!!! Still just about nothing can ruin my good mood. LOL at Robyn for wanting a c-section! I was getting to the point of asking for an elective c-section just so I could meet my baby 2 weeks early, but since its looking so good to do it naturally I'm just going to have to wait ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!

lol booster seat, good idea
Luana Ive never wanted a vb, always said if I was going to have a baby it would be by c section or adopt (think Ive mentioned on here before I have anxiety/control issues) plus with Kobe he was so big at 6 weeks early (was screaming for a c section with him too until the drugs kicked in) Im scared this one will be bigger and get stuck which is a major fear of mine and then there was a letter in the latest treasures mag about a lady who had GD second time round and a 10lb 6oz baby 4 weeks early that got stuck, just confirmed my fears really even though I know everyone is different. Plus he had problems with his heart rate during labour and I just dont want to take any risks really. Ive never had that desire to have a VB like a lot of people, guess now im lucky and can say Ive done it though. ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">
