Appointments

So I am really excited I just scheduled my first OB appointment and my first ultrasound. My first appt. is January 25 so I will be at 10 weeks and then my ultrasound is February 8 and I will be 12 weeks then. I am so excited to see my little growing baby!!!

Also I am really excited that they will do a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section) here! A lot of doctors will not do a VBAC because of the risks and potential lawsuits. It is do redicuouls though because I have done tons of research and the only time it is really risky is if you have the old type of incision. With my type of incision, which is a low transverse (pretty much what everyone does not) it is actually safer to do the VBAC than to put yourself through major surgery. All the research I have done shows that a VBAC is a really good option for me I just pray now that my body cooperates. It is about a 75-85% chance of a successful VBAC so about 15-25% chance I will end up with another C-Section but I am excited to at least get to try for a natural birth. I when I say natural I mean NATURAL.... Induction and epidural higher the chances of ending up in another C-Sections so it is all natural for me ek!!!
