[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think it's odd that a doc would want your complete records before providing his medical opinion??? I don't think you want to hear the truth, OP. I think you just want someone to assure you that a VBAC is the best option for you....but I don't think you are going to hear that. Sorry.

Why are you so opposed to the c-section....or put differently, why are you so eager to try the VBAC?[/quote]

I am not opposed to c section....  C section was not a horrible experience for me.  I healed well, my OB did a fantastic job with my surgery, I was cared for very well in the current OB office.  I had no issue with bonding with the baby and breastfed successfully for a whole year and plus.  Actually most of my friends around me had RCS and they are happy.  It's just that I know after this one, it will be a harder sell to do VBA2C, and I always felt like I was missing out on the "birth experience".  I always wondered what it would be like.  I feel like I didn't have a fair shot with my first birth with me not knowing what I was doing during the pushing phase.  But maybe my OB is right.  I definitely feel confused and conflicted.  I still trust my OB and don't think he is luring me into c section - I think that's really how he feels.  But part of me want to believe that I have higher chance at VBAC, and therefore I should try, rather than wondering later whether I could have done it or not.  Also I realize that "birth" itself is not everything in mommyhood and what matters and I need to do what's best for the health of my baby and myself!  I am not sure yet what's the best decision...
