This was also a VBA2C (two previous C'sections) for me.
My first C-section was a footling breech, and therefore an emergency. My second was called a failure to progress(we were going for a VBAC). In hindsight, there was a hundred things that we could have done differently.
This time I did a ton of reading, was 100% commited to a VBAC, used a Midwifery practice, used Hypnobirthing and generally did everything in our power we possibly could to ensure a positive outcome.
It is possible!!!
Don't let anyone tell you that it isn't!
Be forewarned that finding a supportive HCP may be difficult in these litigious times!
