Well, I was scheduled for my first doctor appointment this morning. Only God had different plans. We have been praying for this baby for a long time and I specifically have been praying for a vaginal birth after ceserean with Taylor. I thought I had done all my ground work and this particular doctor was supportive of that decision. Upon meeting with the nurse, she informed me that all the local hospitals refuse to allow VBACs. So I came home to do more research.
Call the hopsital-speak to a nurse in labor/delivery-they do allow VBACs-it is the choice of the doctor-ask for doctors who support this decision-call the doctor-they are taking new patients-they will support that decision, but remember...
I am advanced maternal age (meaning over 35), I have not had a successful vaginal delivery, so my chances are reduced, each case is individual, a breech position is often due to the shape of the uterus, and the list goes on.
As I left to have lunch with my supportive husband, I became very frustrated and upset about this entire process. Then God woke me up and said: "when you prayed for a house, did I not provide one? when you prayed for a car, did I not provide one? when you prayed for a job, did I not provide one? When have I ever let you down?"
So, I have an appointment with my new doctor next Wednesday. Please keep praying for us that everything will go smoothly and the baby and I both stay healthy.
