I had a cesarean for a breech baby in 10/07 and in the last month I've discovered an abdominal hernia. I am very worried that hernia repair will be a "red dot" on my file when it comes to trying for a VBAC. I haven't found much on the web about it (except a few scary things here and there, or about women who feel pushed into their second or third cesarean). <br /><br />I really, really do not want to have another cesarean. How did it all work out for you? Do you live in a VBAC friendly area?Jennifer L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738062031052371885.post-16959276317358516452009-06-18T13:24:28.711-07:002009-06-18T13:24:28.711-07:00Hi-well rounded.
I'm wondering if you caught ...Hi-well rounded.<br /><br />I'm wondering if you caught the documentary on "morbidly obese" women and pregnancy on the discovery channel's baby week.<br /><br />While I felt intense empathy and sisterhood with the women-I was very turned off by the fear mongering in the series. <br /><br />As an athletic (yes athletic) 300 pound woman who has begun to practice HAES I was extremely turned off by the voice over woman who repeatedly said things like carrying their bodies is like carrying "70 gallons of milk" or carting 800 bricks or whatever. NO IT IS NOT, I began to scream towards the middle.<br /><br />The woman with no complications (she lost weight, had no gestational diabetes and perfect blood pressure) was given the least screen time-until (surprise, surprise) she was given a C-section because THEIR induction failed. <br /><br />As someone who wants to get pregnant I was encouraged by these pregnant large women but disgusted by the slant of the documentary.<br /><br />Yet, my hubby and I noted that the doctors were surprisingly direct and supportive.Samiranoreply@blogger.com
