I cannot believe I am in my third trimester. Which means, I am close to being done. It feels like I had so little time to enjoy and have happy moments with this pregnancy. I don't want it to be over :-(

your midwife's fear about your incision:

My dr had the same one. I told you about how I was in the hospital at 26 weeks because of M2 kicking me so hard it was bruising my uterus. She made me do all these exercises to turn her so that she wasn't kicking my incision too. Then later on I had an ultrasound to check the thickness of my incision because I was still having pains in it.

I obviously chose to have an elective repeat cesarean but I could have/should have listened to my dr and had a VBAC. If a doctor is pulling for a VBAC (and I know at least 6 women who have had VBACs and one who had a VBA2C with that dr) then I'm sure you can with a midwife.

I also had lots and lots of braxton hicks for weeks. Lost my mucus plug at 34 weeks and I was 2cm dilated by 36 weeks. I still made it to my c-section date (barely. I was 4cm and in labour when I arrived but I stupidly refused to let her break my water and have a VBAC)
