The drs at the clinic with my second one even said he could've fixed it. My new OB/GYN is awesome. He's more than willing to let me have a VBA2C. He's straightforward, and answers questions honestly. I'm hoping a natural birth will help my feelings of failure. I find it sad that even with all the research coming out documenting the mental effects of a c-section, drs still want to jump to them.
Hope all goes well. Had no idea there was scientific proof that a csection could cause mental illness?

I feel like my first two, were life saving for both sons.
Additionally, I knew going into my first pregnancy, that i was nervous about scar tissue from a fall off a bike, at the age of six, resulting in reconstructive surgery. My health and survival matters to my children. I gave it a try, but my son had other ideas.

How long before you try this VBA2C? How old are your kids now? Mine are 12,9,8...
