Crazy, huh? My OB isn't optimistic about her turning haha. But there is always a chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2006385 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 08:38:42 +0000 NeekieRose 2006385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: There is still time for baby to flip, maybe you will get your VBAC! But I get the relief of something else making the decision for you. </p> <p>@LuLu Mom: I'm glad you have come to a decision you are happy with! Recovering from both is my biggest concern. Recovery from just the c-section wasn't that bad. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2004567 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 17:05:10 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2004567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agonized over this decision. I eventually landed on VBAC since I had no reason to believe I wouldn't be able to have a vaginal delivery (c-section was due to breech baby), but looks like baby 2 is going to stay breech, so looks like a repeat c section for me too. Part of me is relieved that I don't have the risk of trying and failing and having a c-section anyway, but part of me is a little bummed...I was hoping for an easier recovery (even though my first c-section was a very easy recovery, I have heard that vbac can be even easier). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2004556 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 16:59:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 2004556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the post. It's good information, but I'm still going to keep my repeat C-section. </p> <p> @NeekieRose: I know the dilemma! My doctor supported me if I wanted a VBAC but she gave me all the information and I made the decision to do a repeat. She noted that since I wasn't blessed with the nice wide childbirthing hips, the chances of a repeat were pretty good since I make baby babies. :) I decided I'm not recovering from both again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2004222 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 13:21:26 +0000 NeekieRose 2004222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhh....still stressing about this decision! Officially in the third trimester so I need to decide. I'm just so afraid of making the wrong decision. </p> <p>It was a good video. And it comes down to one line the doctor said "Uncomplicated VBACs are the least risky, but a complicated VBAC that ends in a repeat c-section is more risky than a planned repeat c-section." I really don't want to end up with a c-section anyway. Like I said...ughhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2004077 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 12:04:11 +0000 spaniellove 2004077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it happens for you! And thanks for posting the local video. My birth was at a hospital with one of the highest c-section rates in the region so I was very grateful that my OB worked hard to avoid one in a situation where anyone else would have just pressured me to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2003997 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 11:38:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2003997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you get your VBAC doll! C sections are a wonderful thing but they definitely get over utilized in the medical world. Mostly due to fear of litigation I think. It seems there has been a shift though and more hospitals are trying to support women who prefer a vaginal birth so I think that it helps that you are your own advocate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-nice-video-about-reducing-c-section-ratesvbacs#post-2003915 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 10:59:21 +0000 Phillybaby2013 2003915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5618150" rel="nofollow">http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5618150</a></p> <p>Not sure if anyone already posted this but I liked it. It's local for me too which is encouraging that this area is making changes and asking questions as to the outrageous c-section rate in the US. As someone who had a medically unnecessary c-section and making a VBAC attempt very soon it really hit home for me. </p>
