VBAC SUPPORT

Sorry I meant to say short stature, not small.

Hi Zee,

Your shoe size? Now that you mention it I do remember when I was doing a lot of research on VBAC vs elective cesarean that women of small stature and shoe size 3 or less are less likely candidates for successful VBAC...however you are trying for natural first time birth so no one knows how you're body and baby will react during labour. Sounds a bit bizarre to me, so I honestly don't know. What did she say about your pelvis? Sometimes they can tell from experience if you are likely to have trouble during natural birth.

Hello ladies,

I'm still hoping for a natural birth. My GP mentioned something about my shoe size and my pelvis, apparently according to her I might have some trouble with a Vaginal birth. any thoughts on that?

Hi all, I'm not on moomie very often lately, but if you have questions, I will check in periodically to see if I can help with anything.

Hi ladies

All the best with everyone still hoping for a VBAC!!

I have written my birthstory under the Birth Story link on Moomie if anyone is interested in reading it...

Cant wait to hear all the other birth stories!

Hello Widget and everrybody, hope that we are all well!

you are right Widget my estimated date is 27 of march, and hoping for VBAC and next week wednesday i am going for my 36wks appointment.

Hi Win123 & all moomies,

I thought I'd post an update since I also still follow this thread.

Win, I recon the two of us are due around the same time if I remember correctly? My due date is 26 March. That is according to my 12 week scan and not my cycle and estimated conception date which makes my due date 5 days earlier.

I will be attempting VBAC should I go into labour before 40 weeks, but I requested for a cesarean to be done on my due date. Doctor said we could wait until I go into labour spontaneously but I asked not to go past my due date, and will most probably have a cesarean on the morning of the 26th.

How is everyone else doing? I would love to hear how all the babies and mommies are!
