Hello all,
It seems like forever that I haven't posted here... although I have been lurking on the board and soaking up as much info as possible. You guys are just such a wealth of information. Thanks all. Its so good to see that I am not the only one that is so determined to have a VBAC.

I started my hypnobirthing course today. Lets hope I can put it into practice when the time comes

Hi girls, hope I can join you all in here.

I had an elective section almost 3 years ago as my DD was breech throughout the whole pregnancy. I wasn't told at the time that any future pregnancies would automatically be considered 'high risk' and therefore, a lot of options wouldn't be available to me..

So after doing lots and lots of reading and research, I've spoken with the head of midwifery at my chosen hospital, their specialist VBAC midwife, the specialist water birth midwife and the team of midwives and it's looking likely that I'm going to be given the option of a water birth VBAC - so excited and so pleased with myself for putting my case across and "defying" their policies - usually I'll just go with the flow to avoid 'making a scene' but I fought for something and have had a really positive experience so far - I feel quite empowered lol!!

It's early days at the moment and I'm so worried this one's gonna turn breech too but at the same time, trying to stay positive.

That's my story - look forward to sharing your journeys too!

So glad that you are able to have your VBAC. Welcome to the group. It has been amazingly supportive and informative!

Hi bodi

I've had a elcs for a breech baby too, my third. And I'm crapping my pants this one will be breech too.....find out on 30th but so far so good according to midwife

I saw the MW last week for my 34Week appointment. Baby is head down and engaged so everything seems good. I was reading somewhere that second babies don't engage until the end so was surprised to hear that my baby is. I guess that must be because I had a c-section with my first, right?

2nd Babies often don't engage just because there's more room in the uterus because its been stretched out before, neither of mine engaged until labour.

Stanley wasn't fully engaged until I was fully dilated.

modo · Apr 14th, 2012, 06:26 AM

Wow ok I didn't know that. I wonder how come my baby is engaged then

Just getting ready to make an entrance!

Not every baby is the same, they might be popping in and out of your pelvis a bit in reality, but theyre headed in the right direction so its all good!
