I would push and she would come down, but then by the time I had to push again, she was back where she started. I was trying to do a home birth, but after 3 hours of unsuccessful pushing there, we transferred to the hospital. By the time we got checked in and they did their exams, and another trial of pushing, I was just done. I had been in active labor at that point for 30 hours, and I was exhausted and starting to run a fever. Baby had to come out so we decided on c section. As it turned out, there was no way I could have gotten her out because of her position anyway so it was for the best. Had nothing to do with her size, since she was only 6 lb 1 oz. She was just angled a tiny bit the wrong direction and it wasn't going to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653597 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 11:25:35 +0000 Rescuemom10 2653597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just love seeing all these success stories! :heart: </p> <p>Seriously gives me hope. I hope to be able to contribute some info here in a few weeks. I am 34 weeks now and going for a VBAC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653580 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 11:14:55 +0000 justjules 2653580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's interesting to read all the experiences. I am almost 17 weeks now and hoping for a vbac. In one sense,it feels so far away, but I'm already stressed about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653516 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 09:38:20 +0000 BabyBruins 2653516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>VBAC was at 39w2d. I went into labor one day after having my membranes swept (was at 1cm when she did that)<br /> Prior c-section was at 33w6d due to preeclampsia for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653514 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 09:28:20 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2653514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: :happy: I wish I could be posting on here with stats. I'm hoping to have a vbac one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653499 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 08:46:30 +0000 shortcake 2653499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lbee: they broke my water. She wanted to see how I progressed on my own and i had my first contraction a few minutes later. My OB was very happy with my progress and gave me a little pitot in when I got to 5 cm. I think I was between 3 and 4 for the whole week prior and that morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653496 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 08:31:42 +0000 LBee 2653496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Feel free to thread jack :silly: </p> <p>@shortcake: A few follow-up questions... how were you induced and how dilated were you? (thread jacking myself) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653443 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 00:37:28 +0000 BeachMama 2653443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vbac - I was induced at 40+5 by having my water broke. DS was born about 13 hrs later at 9lbs 11oz. </p> <p>Prior C was for failure to progress and a sunny side up baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653438 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 23:53:33 +0000 shortcake 2653438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Csection was due to breech. I never went into labor the 2nd time. I was induced (they broke my water) at 40+2 and had a wonderful vbac experience 12 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653413 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 21:32:38 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2653413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CoffeeMom: don't want to thread jack, but wow they let you push for a long time. Just wondering how they knew baby was getting stuck on your pelvic bone? I pushed for 3 hours, but then an ob came in and said baby wasn't moving anymore and I needed the section. Was it anything to do with baby's size at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653379 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 19:36:32 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2653379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 VBACs, one at 39 weeks and one at 40 weeks. First was emergency c-section for fetal distress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653362 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 19:03:26 +0000 Boogs 2653362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>39 weeks. Prior c/s was because I remained stalled at 8cm and developed a fever so they got worried and wanted baby out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653257 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:04:35 +0000 CoffeeMom 2653257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into labor at 36w6d for my VBAC. Prior c-section was because I got all the way to 10cm, pushed for 7 hours, and DD kept getting wedged against my pelvic bone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653254 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:59:38 +0000 creativemomma15 2653254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 2 VBACs. My c-section was because baby was breech but I had gone into labor already (water broke &amp; contracting). My first VBAC was at 38 wks and my second was at 38 wks 1 day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653200 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:04:12 +0000 lilyann 2653200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went into prodromal labor at 37 weeks, delivered via VBAC at 37.5 weeks. </p> <p>Prior c-section was due to fetal heart tones decelerating after contractions and maternal fever. I was induced at 40 weeks due to GD. I was dilated to an 8 but water had been broken for over 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-vbac-2#post-2653197 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:00:58 +0000 LBee 2653197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you go into labor? </p> <p>What was your reason for prior c-section? </p>
