How far along are you? This does not make sense. Is your baby Breech? Why are you doing spinning babies?

Let’s see…I had 2 cesareans.  The first because the heart rate dropped.  The second because the doctor recommended a repeat.

I saw Dr. Sheth in Bethesda and had a VBAC after 2.  I explained my desire to avoid a cesarean because of the recovery and my husband having to be deployed.  I exercised, I felt strong and at her encouragement tried to believe that I could do it.  While still remembering to “forgive my body and circumstances” in case it did not work out.  I had a my membranes swept at 38 weeks.  I had a Foley catheter balloon thing induction at 39 weeks.  My water broke.  Pushed for 2 hours and the baby came out vaginally.

To be honest, I had a doula and she was pretty much a waste of money mostly because I wanted/had an epidural. I didn’t need an advocate because I trusted my doctor.

Obs and midwives aren’t magic…they can’t predict the future.  Try the best you can to stay healthy.  It does sound like you therapy may be key for you to help with anxiety.  In the end, you and your baby need to safe.  Wishing you well. [/quote]
