hi olivia, just found your blog looking for advocare 24 day challenge and wanted to comment on vbac success stories. i had my son in feb 2011 – i was induced (now i believe too early-it was 2 days past my due date but there really was no need for me to be induced) and ended up having a c-section. when i got pregnant with my daughter, i knew i wanted to try for a vbac. my doctor supported me and i ended up going into labor on my due date. my daughter was born the next day with a successful vbac. the recovery was so much better than a csection (i mean recovery wasn't easy, but compared to a csection it felt better). plus, i liked being able to pick up/carry my 2 year old son and walk around a lot faster. good luck with your 2nd! being able to have a baby by vbac is so worth it!
I had a csection with my oldest son in 2008. I planned to have a VBAC with our 2nd, but had gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. With the complications I ended up having a second csection in 2012. I was REALLY surprised at how much easier my recovery was with the 2nd csection. With our oldest I went through labor, pushed for 3 hours, then had a csection-6 weeks after having my son i was still in a lot of pain. the 2nd time-recovery was a breeze. I didn't have to take pain meds and was up moving around the same day I had him. totally different experience. so while my story isn't a vbac success, IF you do end up having a csection again, know that it might be completely different.
