possible vbac with next dc- follow up

[metta4]

just a note of thanks for the suggestions as to what to ask my provider re vbac on our next baby

here is the update:

her recommendation was that we wait till Duncan is 9 months old before ttc. she said the recommendation is that their be 18 months b/t the c-section and the vbac.

my incision is the "correct" type for a vbac- a low transvere

doing a vbac means that they can not induce me or rippen my cervix as that can lead to increase potnetial of uterine rupture. they can augment a labor but not induce.

i would req continuous monitoring (external). they do have a telemetry (sp? ) unit which is portable so i could still walk around etc and not be confined to the bed.

they would want to have a hep lock in case they needed to do an iv

she also recommended hypnobirthing as i want to try w/o meds again..


so....we will likely start ttc in the spring. i am trying to lose the last few baby lbs right now....


i am counting the days till we ttc....

thanks again....

I like an OB who recommends hypnobirthing... :)

oops...forgot to mention she is a midwive who works with ob's in a clinic...but it is still very cool. she said their vbac success rate was 90% were as the ob's in the office are 70%. there are about 10 midwives and 4 obs in the practice appx...
