amy,
hang in there and yah, dun be too hung-up/ rigid, more impt to try ur personal best and enjoy ur precious
.
ladies,
went to see gynae today- he scanned, did VE, basically said bb's head is big, wt heavy, bb still growing rapidly, head too high can't induce, yet if wait til overdue 41wks won't be successful in VBAC anyway.
based on such scenario, I've chosen elective this Sat early morning.
lyn,
my current gynae is famous for VBAC and said the previous c-sect wound wld have healed well. His only disclaimer is that it's low chance for natural delivery when bb head size more than 34cm. My #1 and now #2 overshot the limit (supposedly even 1cm bigger makes a difference when squeezing thru the birth canal!). I do have a gf who's bb is bigger than that limit, delivered by same gynae, and she was the "lucky few" who managed natural... but she ended needing extended stay/ physiotherapy. If bb's head was lower at this pt in time, I might have a low chance- which is still a chance! But bb head too high to induce and by the time bb is ready... well, gynae thinks bb wld be still bigger, he doesn't think I can VBAC by then.
I've been obsessing abt bb head circumference throughout pregnancy, now quite relieved the decision's taken.
