....so many appointments!!
Morning ladies, I hope everyone is feeling ok.
I've just had my booking in appointment and have been told I've got to go for lots of extra appointments at the hospital
1) Because last time I had a C sec and this time I want to try giving birth naturally.
2) Because my Mum is diabetic and I have to have the test for gestational diabetes
and........
3) Because I'm Rhesus Neg and I'll have to have the anti D injection.
Has anyone had VBAC? I'd be interested to hear about it.

I had an appt at the hosp this morning cos my baby stopped growing at 32 wks so they've decided to give me more scans from 30 wks this time xx
You'll have an app at 29 wks for ur anti-d, they may even do the gtt test at same time.
I've had a vbac and highly recommend trying for one providing the docs say its ok. I chose one because my youngest had not long turned 2 and i wouldnt have been able to pick him up. mine was a breeze 1hr 51mins and i was up having a shower etc half an hour after the birth xxx
Will have an appt for vbac around 25 weeks to discuss options and previous birth. The midwife really supported me and said that every decision was mine, no one can force me into anything and to do my research and say what I want. I was worried that I would be continually monitored in labour and wouldn't be able to move around but she said if I want to be monitored intermittently that was up to me and I should think about a water birth if I wanted. Feeling very positive about a vbac now.
charlm.....yeah I had the Anti D with my first, I hope you're right and they do the GTT at the same time - it'd save me a trip to the hospital.
I'm similar to you with hoping for a VBAC as my DS will be 22 months when this LO is due, I can't imagine trying to recover from a C sec with 2 bubbas under 2!
Thanks for taking the time to replies girlies

Tashua, what a coincidence - I wonder if we were having the conversation at the same time?? Lol.
Ooh, I wanted a water birth with my first so I'd be totally up for trying that this time! Thanks for that bit of info, I'll mention it next time I speak to my MW.
