Boy! Our third son!

I also talked to the doctor today about the chances that I could have a VBAC since my first 2 were c-sections. He said we could try under some very strict parameters, that I am comfortable with. Since I have never had a labor that progressed, he is giving me a 15-30% chance of VBAC, which, according to my research is very reasonable. One thing that makes him a bit more comfortable with this is the fact that I could walk to the hospital in about 10 minutes, forget about the 2 minute drive, so I can be very closely monitored!

    Awww ... CONGRATS!!! That's so exciting! We're expecting our 2nd son in early May (after 11+ yrs of trying)! Do you have any names picked out?

    Also, best of luck with your VBAC. I hope all works out! I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for a VBAC myself this time. I'm hoping the 65+ I'd lost since having my first son will make a difference when it comes to labor this time!
