re: Electing a csec..I wanted a vbac :(

Quoting lolajessup:" Why won't they let you see her for 6 hrs?!?! Unless it's emergency and she had to go to nicu. Mine was ... [snip!] ... or formula. She had donor milk there for her already for them to use. And I asked them to use an ng tube instead of a bottle."

Because military hospitals are stupid. I was away from my last baby for almost 4 hours just from a regular csec..so I will be away from my new son for longer with all this other nonsense   Idk what I am going to do yet. I can't wait to talk to my husband and figure out what he thinks!

You could always try herbal induction, or just things to get you ready (as long as they do not conflict with any health issues).
Like taking EPO orally and vaginally, red rasberry leaf tea (RRLT).
There is more serious stuff too of course, but the above just helps you go when its time, other herbs can force it.

Girl I have literally done EVERYTHING with all my other pregnancies. I'm a doula and it's so frustrating to me that the things that I suggest to my clients that work for them NEVER work for me. I don't dilate past a 2 on my own, and labor has never started alone. Even with breaking my water without pitocin only resulted in all of it draining out for 4 hours with NO contractions. Pretty much all the situations that I tell my clients that are nearly impossible to happen, happen to me

Aw okay, some mama's don't know about it you know so I just try and offer what little I know. I know you said they won't let you go over due, but I mean, you can do what you want. I'm not sure what your health issues are, but if you and your baby are okay then you really don't have to listen to them. Unless things are different because your insurance is through your hubbys job?

The reason they don't let me go over is cause of my heart condition and my prematurely aging placenta..I always have UGR. It starts around 32 weeks

Ohh ok I understand   I'm sorry you are going through this. Seriously one day your childrem are going to be like wow mom, you let them cut you open for me? I know you don't want it but it's still a brave and sacrificing thing to do.

  Thanks for the info though! I am just super depressed that I never go into labor on my own, and I really was hoping for the chance this time. Technically I can still try until I'm 38 weeks, but at that point I won't have my ducks in a row for family here for the csec..idk I feel stuck
