Part 4: Due January, February & March 2019

[Georgia_Peach]

I can't believe I have about 10 weeks to go, maybe even 9. This week I had my vbac consult and received a score that made me a little more worried and sad. I'm not second-guessing wanting to try for vbac but it's hard to go in with a really confident attitude when they tell you your chances of success are 45%. I have good reasons to think my chances are better than that, but I have a hard time feeling confident.
For those of you who got an epidural, did you feel attached to and fond of your baby right away, or did it take longer? Some of the articles I've read suggested epidural can mess with bonding hormones . I know feelings of attachment are normally variable and can take time to build but I'm wondering if I could really benefit from those bonding hormones this time. I did eventually feel close to baby number one, but it took quite awhile.
I'm going to post this in the other dates group 2 because with an April 3rd title mean I don't know if this will be an April or March baby.

Just wanted to chime in. I am a 3 time vback-er. I've had EVERY birth situation possible. My first vback I was 2 years after my csection. He came late and weighed 9 lbs. I had an epidural. Second was an induction (which drs NEVER want to do with vbacks) and no epidural! My third and last baby was another induction at 37 weeks.. again.. had to BEG drs to induce me. I chose to have an epidural bc i was told I was very high risk for another csection (complicated pregnancy). I wanted to be prepared for them to rush me into surgery if need be. No time to mess around with getting epidural at that point. Because we already lost a baby (the pregnancy begore) I was very scared.

Now... having experienced ALL the ways of births, did i feel different toward any? No. Did I prefer one vs the other? Yes. The natural non epidural would be my choice. It just was a faster induction and I felt better psychically during labour. I hate not being able to feel my legs.
Hope this helps. It honestly doesnt matter how baby gets here. It's your body and your choice.

Well, I had been planning on catching up tomorrow but... I was just admitted to the hospital. My water broke about 3 hours ago, was 4-5 when I was checked, and contractions are strong and 4 minutes apart.

Yay!!! Little man is coming!!! Go SBB!!

Very unintentionally had no meds. I started epidural, but couldn’t feel contractions or push him down enough because he was high although I was at 10. Every time I moved around he went into a bit of distress, csection almost happened a few times. Not even going to lie, I was drenched with sweat and crying by the time he dropped for me to push. Lots of pushing (man am I sore and swollen) later...
