To Delicious Truffies

Hello there. I was just wondering on what is going on? I remember you
posting saying you went to the hospital but they sent you home? Anymore
contractions? have I missed a post?

Just wondering how you and baby are doing! :-D

No baby yet.

I went to the hospital again last night (or this morning 1:00am). The
contractions were 5 minutes apart when we left. By the time we arrived
the contractions were 2 minutes apart. Then they stopped!

I think I am going to have a repeat c-section tomorrow. This is very
difficult for me to accept. I *so* wanted to do a VBAC but I can barely
walk and I am in pain and very exhausted.

The hospital is horrible and the nurse and doctor on-call last night
were very rough on me. Tonight is the doctor I had issues with but
tomorrow is the one I like very much. If I don't do this tomorrow I have
to wait until next Thursday and I don't think I can.

Another thing is every doctor/nurse that is checking me is saying this
is a big baby. I might end up going through major labour and still have
a c-section but on their terms not mine.

I guess I'd rather be in control of the c-section and make it as
unpleasant as possible.

There is also this small window of opportunity for help from relatives.
DH's work is very busy right now so he can only take a few days off but
he can be flexible with his times while the relatives rotate helping out.

I'm very disappointed and sad right now. :-(

(((((Brigitte))))),
the hospital sounds horrible! As if you needed them being so insensitive at
this time. I am glad that your favourite Dr is on tomorrow and I am sending
you positive vibes .

Now I can't wait to hear your birth story!

Love

Brig, you know we are all thinking about you and hope the best. And I know
you must be really tired cause I am sure you did not mean to say...

Pleasant delivery of whatever variety.

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck..Maybe you'll
get lucky and get a good doc and wont have to a c-section. I've heard
that sometimes when the docs know that the baby is going to be pretty
big they induce labor, i see that your due date is soon, why don't they
induce? I hope that everything works out, and works out soon :-D .
please keep us posted!

Take care

But on the bright side, you will soon have a beautiful baby to hold in
your arms!!!! I hope things go as well for you as possible!

Missed this yesterday, or maybe you posted when it was night time here.
Sorry to hear you've been going through the wars. You've been through
c-section recovery before, so you know what you are letting yourself in
for, I hope you have peace with whatever decision you make.

What an awful position for you too be in this close to your baby's arrival.
I am so sorry you have to go through this right now. I can totally
understand being heartbroken about the idea of not getting to VBAC. Have
you ever talked to the women at ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness
Network)? It is a huge organization of women supporting each other to VBAC
and/or deal with their c-section issues. They could very possibly help you
achieve what you want with this birth. They most likely have a local
support network set up near you as well. I hope my message is not too late.
You can sign on to the email group at
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ICAN-online/ or you can cal for
immediate support at (800) 686-ICAN.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you and you are able to have an
empowering experience no matter the method of birth. You will get to hold
that precious baby soon. Enjoy your Babymoon!

Awww...((((hugs)))) It really sucks that you've had to go through so
much labour and probably not get to go through with your VBAC!

We'll be thinking good thoughts in your direction...
