Having problems with message search?
I'm sorry that you didn't have the VBAC you wanted, but by the sounds of it, it seems like you were very well-respected and that it was a good experience. Wrapped cords are a tricky thing, and I'm glad you were able to make the decision that was right for you and baby Esther :)
She is such a precious little angel, btw - GORGEOUS! I hope you can bring her to a meeting sometime :D

The VBAC didn't happen. The day before she was born we decided to do a
c-section. She was not descending as the cord was wrapped around her
neck and shoulders a few times. The concern then was that I would
labor all day just delaying the inevitable c-section.
And I'm okay with it all. Actually, it went soooo much better than the
first section and it was like a party in the O.R. I know having the
midwives and preparing for a VBAC really helped me a lot in the end.
Elaine Clutterbuck was with me most of the time and kept those pesky
residents away and for that I'm eternally grateful :)
While I would still attempt a VBAC if we decide to have another child
(because recovery still sucks), I'm pleased with how well everything
went considering.
I'm adding pics of Esther to the Photos section right now.
Thanks for checking in on me!
xoxo,
Veronica
