Little Feet Follow Me (blog)

Hello friends! As you can see, we got our results on the baby's gender. We are soo pleased and happy that it's a girl! Laila is ecstatic! Luckily we saved everything from Laila so we are set!

I was also able to go over those midwife questions from my last blog. She assured me that their VBAC success rate is amazing. They said they have never lost a mother or a baby due to rupture. She also said that they are still awaiting my C-section records from my old ob. They have to make sure I have the right uterine scar for VBAC. They still don't know what it is, but she is betting that everything is fine and all systems will be a go! She also cleared up that they only do "water labor" the actual birth has to be with me out of water. But I can be in any position I want for that.

I'm a major believer in letting the baby come when ready. They are too. She said because of what happened last time, they don't want me going 10 days past my due date. They are also going to offer to strip my membranes at 38 weeks. She doesn't want the baby getting so big (and this baby has measure a week ahead every time) that my scar does rupture. We will see. I really want my water to break again on it's own..but am terrified at seeing green water again. They will have to do constant fetal monitoring during the birth. I'm so excited. If I do happen do opt for "the sweep" it would be December 19th.

I think I am going to turn my comments back on. I had turned them off due to some weird comments about my parenting style. Attachment parenting is not for everyone. Please don't judge me. Everyone is different and does what works for them.

On another note: any cool ideas for names?

Until next time!
