[quote=Anonymous]I recently had a VBAC. The biggest thing is to talk to your doctor in advance about the plan for pain meds - I initially didn't want an epidural and my doctor explained that I should have one placed in case things go south they can turn it on for the c-section. If I didn't have it placed and something went wrong they would have to put me under general anesthesia and I would be completely out and it could negatively impact the baby as well. I had the epidural placed (and they placed it late - when I was already around 9 cm). Be prepared to understand and discuss what will happen if something goes wrong and make sure your spouse/support person knows your wishes as well. In the end, a successful birth is what's best for you and baby and remember that as well. Good luck![/quote]
