VBAC/VBAMC Hopefuls EDD Nov 2011?

Bulelwam I am not worried about baby being big...if I have to have c-section I will be happy if he is big and healthy:) I am praying that what will be will be...in the best interest of my child and i. Its all in God's hands.

So sorry about the doctors that are so unsupportive:(

I got told on Saturday by a friend she forgot I was pregnant as I dont look pregnant yet. I am overweight though, luckily kept my weight down and so far only put on 500gms. Hoping it'll stay so low for my last few weeks.

Missy and Simone, ja man die dae is min. Ek kan nie wag nie!
Thank you for the good wishes as well.

Unfortunately Missy, the gynaes I approached to back me up said no and I didn't have the heart to go knocking from door to door looking for one that would support me coz I got enough flack from the two I approached that I left their offices in tears......and that is not what I need, so its public maternity hospital as backup.
But I don't focus my mind on that, I focus it on a successful delivery at home.

I'm sorry about the placenta Simone but I'd say pray without ceasing.
The big baby story is just a myth. God designed out bodies as perfect systems to function perfectly....that is what I've come to realize.
The key I have been told, have read and have come to believe and train for is to relax and allow your body to do what it knows best how.

I have been doing relaxation exercises for weeks now and am continuing....I can already notice a difference. I worry not about the size of my baby.....in fact, I try not to worry at all.....when one of the fears pops up I use the relaxation exercises to relax and face the fear head on.....they don't usually come back after that.
This is working for me in my life in general.

Anyway, enough rant....

I get lots of people telling me I look like I'm hiding a soccer ball
My pregnancy is just my tummy. have gained a bit elsewhere but just a bit.

Missy are you also in PE? I used to be with Dr Dalmeyer, but now he specialises in fertility, so now I'm with Dr Potgieter. Really nice gynae. Do you know of him?

Almost there sweety, so wish you all da best with your vbac...

Bulelwarm: Do you have to have a backup gynae?

SimoneC- didnt know you were preggies, congrats. if im not mistaken you liev in PE hey, whose your gynae?

Bulelwam....min dae!! I think your tummy looks cute! Like a soccer ball on your tummy...lol. So cool that the men gave you a 'stork party' The thought that counts! Enjoy the pizza today!

Have not popped in here in a while. At 26w scan placenta was still covering cervix so doc said not to put my heart on VBAC and it seemed likely I would have to have c-section, but we'll assess again at next scan as we go on. Baby seems to be big though:)
