It was a little boring, Definately went on a lot longer then it needed too. We filled in tons of paper work, all the usual questions we're asked. Family history etc etc.
I asked about a VBAC as that is what I really wanted to do. First thing she said was, It depends on the consultant I have to if I can have a VBAC. My heart sank a bit. One of the few things I've read on the Internet is that those VBAC consultants are hard to come by. It would be decided on my notes to if we can try. I am holding out hope the consultant is VBAC friendly.
The midwife said I wouldn't be aloud to attempt a HBAC (home birth after Cesarean), Wouldn't be aloud a water birth and chances are the Dr would want me monitored as much as possible.
Not being funny but that is NOT how I want this birth to go down. I want to go into labour on my own, I want to labour at home as long as I can and then when I do decided its time to go to the hospital I want to be as mobile as possible.
I know the risks of having a VBAC, I also know that my last birth only ended in a C/S because Mia just wasn't ready to be born. Failure to progress is not an option this time around.
However, this is just from the midwife. As I had a C/S with Mia and also had polyhydromnisoisis I am classed as High risk. I am under shared care between the midwife and consultant. I will be seeing the consultant a few times later in pregnancy.
One of the best bits of the booking in date was I got my scan date!!! 8TH AUG I FINALLY SEE MY BABY!! we will also see how many are growing in there. Taking bets now. I will around 10 weeks and 4 days. So glad its nearly here! I feel I will relax so much more when I see our little poppy seed for the first time and know its all going great.
