I went from 6 to baby out with my last VBAC in 20 minutes, and I was screaming for drugs too - when it goes so quick it's hard to breathe and stay focused on the breathing.Jennylou's Projectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053464167167767219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387111098799462581.post-56431368999360392602009-11-13T14:21:04.692-08:002009-11-13T14:21:04.692-08:00Well done!

As my 5th child was delivered by c-section b/c of a prolapsed cord. So I had to have an emergency c-section. All four of my other children were Natrual birth. But I have always had to be induced b/c of my high blood pressure at the very end. But they are telling me they cannot use poticin s strongly as they normally do since I have had a previous c-section. So all they can do is break my water, and give me an hour of poticin only until needing to do a c-section. So this greatly concerns me, because I really do not want to go thru the horror of a c-section!! So I am doing all of my research and praying for only the very best!! And prasy I can go into labor by myself, without induction!! Your story defiantly gave me hope, b/c I was refused by many many doctors b/c I am high risk, and b/c they did'nt support VBACs!! So I pray the midwife I have now, will do her best to make sure I don't have to hav e a c-section!! Thanks again for your inspiring story, and for being sooo VERY Strong!! What an awesome story you will always get to tell now!! Way to go!!<br /> Be Blessed, YvonneUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485187263251064901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387111098799462581.post-29471489455671297702009-11-13T08:16:12.948-08:002009-11-13T08:16:12.948-08:00WOW!
