Since I was charting ovulation and know exactly when I ovulated my c-section has been set for Aug 15 since mid May, I'll be 39w1d.
With DS I was in labor 22 hours and my hips could not accommodate him so I ended up having a section.
My Dr said just because things didn't work for me 15 years ago doesn't mean they won't now and is all for letting me try to go natural.
I'd have to be induced because I take injectable blood thinners and if I were to go into labor any closer then 12 hours from my last shot it would be dangerous for me. (I take a shot every 12 hours)
The reason I'm wanting a section is because of the horrid experience I had with DS and I don't want a repeat of that.
The reason I'm strongly considering trying for VBAC is because recovery (from what I hear anyway) is not near as long, hard or painful after vaginal delivery then it is after a section.
DH wants me to try for vaginal but is leaving it totally up to me and my dr.
Any advice or suggestions? Have any of you experienced both? Is recovery really considerably easier after natural birth?
