They should do what the patient feels comfortable doing as this increases the chances of success and decreases chances of complications! A confident and relaxed patient is what any good practitioner should look for and encourage.

My midwives won't even give me a chance at a home birth because of my c-section TEN years ago >_< Let's switch midwives! lol aren't you in Canada?

Hahaha! Yes!
Wow they won't let you?
I've had 2 successful vbacks since my c section 9 years ago. They told me though that id have to wear a monitor and IF my uterine scar ruptures I have 5 min before I could die to get to a hospital. That is no comfort! Lol

I had my check up today and all is well the doctor wasn't able to find the heartbeat with the doppler so I had to get an u/s (yayyy!!) So I got to see our little bean just jumping around!! It was awesome! I've nicknamed the baby "jumping bean" lol. They could barely get the heart rate because the baby was moving around so much but they were able to capture it at 165bpm. I do feel little disheartened though. I decided to go with a different doctor than my previous pregnancies bc I knew my old doctor would not even consider a vba2c so when I went in for a yearly exam with the new doctor he said he was open to discussing it. So, when I went in today I asked about it and he said that most practitioners would advise against because of the complications but I really felt like he was trying to scare me vs. giving me all the information to make an informed decision. He told me that there was a 3% percent chance of uterine rupture and then out of that 3% there is a 1 in 400 chance that the baby could die or need life long care. I just feel like this is something I would like to attempt at least. I don't like the doctor deciding what day my babies will be born. I would like to leave that up to God as to what day my baby is ready to come on. Now, I'm stuck between giving up on my finally shot at having a vba2c or just giving in and having a scheduled CS. Any thoughts? I just feel really conflicted right now...

When was your last c section? What was the reason for it?

My last c-section was 6 years ago with DS2. It was scheduled because I had a c-section with DS1 (his heart rate dropped) and the doctor wouldn't even try to do a vbac with DS2.

Umm I am not a Dr of course.. but I don't see a reason you couldn't attempt a vback. 6 years is a long time to heal. I had my first 2.5 years after mine. Also the reason for your section is very specific for your second pregnancy/baby at the time. Usually they say you'll need a section every time if you had one for reasons that occur every time with your pregnancies. E.g. small birth canal or another medical concern.
Have you thought about using a midwife instead of a Dr?
I changed after my first son and never looked back.

I have thought about using a midwife but it is true that I wouldn't be able to get any pain medication?

I am fully planning on having an epidural this time. I didn't last birth bc the anesthesiologist was busy. 😐
You can for sure get pain meds. Last time I had a bit of back labour my midwife gave me a shot of saline solution.. took pain away. They also do pressure point message during my labour! They are beyond incredible.

My friend went for her vbac (and I have had several) but this one time... this one friend had a rupture. Thankfully she was at the hospital and they were ready to take care of her. I don't think anyone has mentioned a vbac home birth but that thought has always scared me! And no midwives will let you get pain meds if you want them.
What is everyone craving these days?? Anyone else experiencing being more hungry overall??

I'm not having any real cravings consistently, and I'm not much hungrier than I was before my BFP. However, with all of my boys I was constantly hungry. Like watching the clocks for when I could eat again, haha! Waking up in the middle of the night and having a small snack!
