Met with my doctor this morning. Heard TBD's heartbeat. Then we chatted about my delivery. I asked her if I could try a Vaginal Birth After C-section (VBAC). She said that if I want to, she'll support me.
We reviewed my odds for a successful delivery and we discussed what I did and did not like about V's delivery. The biggest concern my doctor has is that the type of incision I required to emergency deliver V will dramatically increase the odds that my uterus could rupture during childbirth.
At the end of the discussion, I decided on a scheduled c-section. My doctor told me to think about it and do some research. I'll look around online, but my mind's pretty much made up. Why risk one more unknown complexity?
Also, I dropped the urine sample cup in the toilet and I had to fish it out. Nasty.

Yikes! I wouldn't risk a ruptured uterus either.
We've had a rash of ruptured uteri. And the recovery from a scheduled c/s is so much easier. Actually easier than a rough vag delivery. I think many too many women get sections the first time, but once you've had one, the repeat's the way to go.
I have totally been waiting for you to chime in E. Your advice made me feel better. I also spoke with Larissa and she said her scheduled c-section was WAY better.
I'm still scared shit-less.
