Big baby, no VBAC - follow up

First of all, I want to thank all of you wonderful ladies for your kind words and support on my last post about the baby measuring large at 39 weeks, and my doctors pushing for a repeat c-section. It was encouraging to read some of your VBAC and successful large baby birth experiences. I truly took all of your words to heart. But, after much

Your comfort with how things are planned to go means a lot. It seems you're understanding of this choice and are at peace with it. What more could be asked for in this world? :) I had blood pressure issues too at the end of my pregnancy. They can be pretty scary.

I hope things go well for you and the baby and that your recovery goes smoothly. May 31st is an awesome day to be born - it's my stepsister's birthday too and she's one of the best people i know.

Not that you need the internet's approval, but I think ultimately it's important that you do what you feel most comfortable with. I think possibly planning the c-section this time around gives you the perception of control over birth that you felt like was taken from you last time. Maybe you need this as a healing experience and I certainly wish a happy birth to you and your baby girl! Best of luck!

Thanks for this post! I am planning a VBAC with my second child in September, and it seems like everyone is severely divided on the issue. If I end up with a C-section, I don't want to feel like I failed at childbirth or something. I just want to feel in control of the situation, which I did not feel I had last time.

Sounds like you are making the best choice for you. Post pics when you have them on Tuesday!
