VBAC SUPPORT

Whoa mummyabby...you cant just blurt out announcements like that! We need details girl
BIG CONGRATS

Hi Mommies,

I had a successful vbac saturday the 18th. Baby weighed 4,1kg

Oh forgot to add that hiring a doula will also increase yoru chances of a vbac. www.wombs.org.za

Just been fishing from my colleagues, and it sounds like your Dr is one of the VERY few that will do a natural birth.... btw the hypnobirthing contact in Ct is www.beautifullyborn.co.za

COngrats on your pregnancy. How do you know what your gynae's natural & vbac's rate is to feel confident about him supporting your trial of labour?
will he restrict you to having labour commence before your edd?
will he require you to book into hospital at the 1st sign of labour?
Will you be required to have a urinary catheter and intravenous access from the time of admission?
Will you be required to dilate at a rate of 1cm per hour?

If these are his requirements for a trial of labour, then you're better off booking a csection or looking at rather going the midwife route.

Also vitally important is YOU MUST DO HYPNOBIRTHING for labour prep! I support alot of women attempting vbacs and the one that have done hypnobirthing are usually more successful.
All the best

Hi Tracyannb!

Welcome to Moomie and congrats on your pregnancy. Good luck with your vbac journey

Hi Tracyannb!

It sounds like you are on the right track. I don't know your gyni or the hospital as I'm in Pretoria. Are you doing anything special to prepare youself for a normal delivery?

Let us know how your journey goes!
