I have spent a good hour (interrupted often so it has really be about two hours) trying to find the research that shows this is really a small, small thing… it isn’t going well. So far I’ve found local study (hugs and kisses to Dr. H whom I adore!) groups that are from when our c/s rates were in the 10-15% range… and that is my dream number now that we are at 30%. A few out of Britain… and the ones in the US keep talking about the risk of vbac before getting in to the elective cesareans risks in the first paragraphs and then when you go to the cited literature… it is for gestation’s under 34 weeks… craptastic…. I swear I am trying.

I don’t have permission to share what happened. I wasn’t about to press any further. In my own experience, I remember thinking just do whatever you want… during my cesarean. Sadly this is the ‘worst case scenario’… and I can remember during the first year of biggest boys life, wishing they had taken my uterus so I wouldn’t have more children… I was extremely depressed. Make a note of that… because after last night… I’ve got a whole new outlook.
