  yes i was and the dr said at any point if i do want a section i can do that. she said the hospital i'm going to gives everyone the choice who has had a c section but they don't have to.

  ah good for you, i had emergncy sectionn 1st time round, and after much debate decided on vbac for baby no2. Wasnt the most straightforward vbac, but sooo glad i went for it and not a section.
  Goodluck

  thats really good hun. i went for my consultants appt today and ended up crying my eyes out as doc told me i should try for vbac and i said i wanted a planned section. felt quite upset by it all but she then realised how badly i hated last time and then said i could go up to 40 weeks and then make a decision...hopefully wont have to go through the hell i went through last time! x

  ah Mummyames i was exactly the same when i first saw the consultant- was adamant i wanted another section. after speaking to him i realised i hadnt properly thought about it, and was just soo worried i would go through the same as i did the first time round. The deciding factor me was that i didnt think id be able to recover properly running around after my 2 1/2 yr old as well as looking after a newborn. Also couldnt stand the thought of not driving for 6wks- cos i do soo much with my toddler. But dont let the consultant bully you into anything u dont want, make sure you stand your ground.
