Tell your wife she has positive thoughts coming from me. I believe she can do this... my one thought is... what worked for me mentally was not saying 'my doctor is LETTING me...' This was my body, my pregnancy, my birth... I made the decisions, the babies had a definite say but no OB was going to give me permission to do what I knew was right :-) I don't know where you are but I am in Canada and here doctors can't force a medical procedure on you - this wasn't about them 'letting' me.. I would need to let them do the c-section. If your wife ever wants to chat with someone who knows what she is going through feel free to contact me... always willing to provide support however I can... Jen Hi Nate

I have had 2 c-sections. The first was an emergency one and the second was scheduled because everyone had convinced me that it was to dangerous to have a VBAC. My husband and I will be trying to get pregnant again very soon. (my children are 25 months and 10 months). I want a VBAC because I do not wanted to be limited on the number of children I can have. Thank you so much. If you have any more suggestions and/or ideas as I research this please let me know. Jen,

I want to have a vaginal delivery and now know what to say to my doctor from the get go. I have a 5 year old who was an emergancy c-section after getting to 8 centimeters and she went in heart distress and a 6 year old who was an c-section after labor wasn't progressing after being induced. I want to experience having a vaginal delivery. I feel that me and my body can do this. Thanks for the inspiration.

I am just amazed that you had the guts to do it after two c's and even with twins!!! WOW!! I have had two c's and if I get pregnant again would like to try VBA2C but get nervous cause my last c was because I only dilated to 6 centimeters, and the first was because of breech.

I was so angry for how you were treated and then your second shift nurse came on and I wanted to cheer with you. I was angry again to read she'd discovered you were set up for failure with the catheter bulb. I'm so proud of you, you are an amazing mama! To the blogger--thank you so much for sharing this, it's an amazing inspiration! For the author: That was such a beautiful birth story–I’m in tears.

DH & i are doing what we can to educate ourselves, have hired a doula, found the most supportive doc we can ... and hope to find others along the way as you did who will support us. thx for the encouraging words, in a world where we sometimes all we hear is why we 'can't' do it. thanks for sharing your story & your heart. i am a first time mom, expecting surprise twins 12/1/09. i have a very supportive maternal-fetal med specialist, as i’m consider high risk btwn the twins & high BP.
