You can do it! Especially with the support of those around you!!Kate & Matt Heihnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107847249157025032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21273161.post-46443761404161143222010-12-23T11:09:34.625-08:002010-12-23T11:09:34.625-08:00I think a lot of doctors take advantage of the &qu...I think a lot of doctors take advantage of the "ignorance" (let's be honest, that's what is) of first time mommies! You know my story... CSEC with Gabbi! I had a VBAC no problem with Catie... although I did have an epidural. I was so focused on wanting to deliver her, that I didn't prepare for an all-out natural childbirth. Well, the epi only took on 1/2 my body, so I felt everything anyway. Yes, excruciating pain. I seriously felt like I was going to die... but it's worth it. I'm going natural this time. 3rd time's a charm!! I plan on reading and doing the Bradley Method- look into if you can :) <br />I'm sure having a Csec is what led to the problems with Jack. I struggled with Gabbi a lot. The nurse who was helping me in the room with Catie's birth told me that's what happens when your body doesn't go into labor on its own, and esp with having a Csec, it usually takes a few more days than it's supposed to for milk to come in. Your body is just not ready! My heart breaks every time I hear of another Mom whose Dr has scheduled her to be induced, then ends up with Csec... I hear of it ALL the time!<br />If you've never heard of it, I recommend everyone to watch "The Business of Being Born"... it's so good & eye-opening!<br />Didn't mean to write a book now :)bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169937401715469552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21273161.post-86879467693317636902010-12-22T23:51:04.564-08:002010-12-22T23:51:04.564-08:00Sounds like a good plan!

Like you, my birth experience was not what I expected and I think that some things that happened made a rough start on breastfeeding. We can do it :-)Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21273161.post-58535828384895981162010-12-22T21:51:30.339-08:002010-12-22T21:51:30.339-08:00Wow, it's like I'm reading my own story. I...Wow, it's like I'm reading my own story. It sounds like we went through the exact same experience. I just hate the whole medical system and inpatient doctors sometimes. So, will you get to have a midwife facilitate the birth? I had to call around alot before I found anyone willing to allow me to vbac. And I felt so blessed that I was even able to find a midwife! I, too, am going to birth at a hospital, and it's a hospital that is known for being supportive of vbac, so yay! It pays to live in a big city :)<br />I'll pray that we both get to have the birth experience as God has intended it!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14147007326667019756noreply@blogger.com
