Hi everyone,
I realise there are a few VBAC threads on here but just wondered if anyone has had a VBAC at term after a previous emergency c-section that was before 36 weeks? How did you find it?
I had DS at 30 wks v suddenly due to severe pre-eclampsia/HELLP syndrome, by emergency c-section within 3hrs of diagnosis. I'm now 20 weeks pregnant with no.2 and being monitored closely, but hoping to get to term without any sign of PE! I would like a VBAC but the first local hospital said no, however the bigger hospital I've now been referred to have said yes so long as no signs of probs! I would really like an active birth- is that possible while strung up to various monitors (which they have explained they'll have to do)?
Is there anything I should put into my birth plan, when I get to writing one (putting it off til past 30 wks as scared of jinxing everything!)?
Thanks for reading all of this. xxx
