oh that’s AMAZING to hear.  I’ve been feeling pretty nervous about it, & the bigger I get the more i’ll probably question my decision.  I’m just scared of the unknown & so badly want a different birth experience.

@luvalways86:  I read alot of vbac, homebirth, and natural birth stories to help build my confidence! Any time I’ve gotten nervous I read out of my Ina May’s book! I stay away from birth shows & stay very selective of the birth stories I read… and just keep telling myself my birth is going to be amazing! =)

When are you due?

@runsyellowlites:  I’m 18 wks due Sept 4th.  Long way to go! I’m trying to be selective as well, just alot of unwanted comments can really cloud your judgement.  I definitely want to go to a birthing class, b/c I never did with my first.  My main concern is that i’ll hold my breath during contractions like I did the first.  That made me feel like I was going to pass out.

@luvalways86:  Definitley get Ina May Gaskin’s Guide to Childbirth! The whole first half is birth stories & the second is encouraging in our bodies abilities!

I didn’t take any childbirth classes b/c we don’t have any natural classes around here & I don’t live in a very vbac friendly city.. the hospital birth classes were DEFINITELY out of the question. I’ve watched a few natural birth videos & like I said just stuck to natural childbirth & homebirth stories… they seemed the most empowering.

Have you thought about any hypnobabies, hypnobirth, or hypbirth? Will help you relax through labor maybe?…

Also I did ALOT of research on vbac stats to help build my confidence too!

My friend just had VBAC birth last week. She did beautifully. 36 hours of labor. But everything went perfect.

@luvalways86:  I don’t have any experience but I’ll be rooting for ya! Have you tried midwife care? My midwives were so empowering and committed to giving me the birth experience I wanted.

Great to hear about a successful story!  I’m going to need all the positive feed back I can get….i’m getting nervous.
