[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very happy I went with a VBAC, but I had a very easy, quick birth with zero damage to my body. No tearing, no pelvic floor damage, vagina looks and feels 100% the same as ever. It was a very easy recovery- I was literally walking around, showering etc. hours after giving birth. I found c-section recovery to be difficult personally, and the surgery left me with permanent scarring/skin puckering and pockets of numbness (nerve damage). So my personal VBAC experience was good, but there are so many variables. I will say my OB was very supportive and my delivery nurses were fantastic.[/quote]

You should consider yourself very, very lucky. [/quote]

You know what? I do consider myself lucky, but I get sick of people on this board acting like my experience was a rare unicorn. The majority of women give birth without incident.  I mean, we are all lucky to have gotten up this morning and driven to work without getting into a car accident. Car accidents are common, right? I really hate the fear-mongering about all types of birth on this board. Giving birth and having children is risky. It's not something to be taken lightly. Sometimes there are after-effects (as I had with my c-section) and sometimes there are not, but I find your tone patronizing.[/quote]
