I had gestational diabetes and was on insulin. I had a very straightforward labor and birth a 8 lb 11 oz baby. It really pisses me off that many providers wouldn't have given me a chance. Undoubtedly the VBAC was better for me and the baby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738062031052371885.post-29656800223476439332009-04-02T20:59:00.000-07:002009-04-02T20:59:00.000-07:00What a beautiful, positive story!!

I have been trying to conceive via IVF and kinda pissed off that before my next transfer I've only managed to lose a couple of kilos, I'm about a 108 kilos now, at 5 feet 8in in height. I have horrible belly fat and always feel so guilty. Its a no-win sitch because I have PCOS, I've had miscarriages and a stillbirth and the guilt is getting to me, even though I'm on medication that bloats me up (prednisone) ... hearing positive stories such as this is fantastic to me! thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738062031052371885.post-41707849156927188322009-03-20T16:34:00.000-07:002009-03-20T16:34:00.000-07:00Beautiful story!

I had my first child in the hospital and had a c-section due to poor positioning and I'm hoping if/when the hubby and I decide to have #2 I'll have a VBAC at my hospital. It's not so bad here in Canada for women who want to try it.MigiziNse-ikwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096526211377597403noreply@blogger.com
