My friend told me the best news the other day!!!
She read this in the "Parenting" magazine:
Ob-Gyns Issue Less Restrictive VBAC Guidelines
Washington, DC -- Attempting a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is a safe and appropriate choice for most women who have had a prior cesarean delivery, including for some women who have had two previous cesareans, according to guidelines released today (July 21, 2010) by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
In keeping with past recommendations, most women with one previous cesarean delivery with a low-transverse incision are candidates for and should be counseled about VBAC and offered a TOLAC . In addition, "The College guidelines now clearly say that women with two previous low-transverse cesarean incisions, women carrying twins, and women with an unknown type of uterine scar are considered appropriate candidates for a TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean)," said Jeffrey L. Ecker, MD, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and immediate past vice chair of the Committee on Practice Bulletins-Obstetrics who co-wrote the document with William A. Grobman, MD, from Northwestern University in Chicago....
YESSSS!!!! This is the best news EVER!!! Oh I pray that I will be able to find a good doctor who will let me try for a vbac again with my 3rd baby! I have hope yet again!! I am so glad they are 'changing' this rule!!! YIPPPEEEE!!!!

Sarah, that is great news. I can't believe your baby is still so little and you can even entertain the idea of going through pregnancy again! :) you are tough!
Thanks so much!! This is really interesting! I'm sooo trying as hard as I can to get a VBAC. If we have another baby here in Maine it should be easier... I'm planning on having a doula at the very least to have someone backin me up with research and laws and info on labor and delivery post c-section. Good luck and thanks so much for posting this!
