So, I'm back and in better spirits than I was in this morning since I got some of my questions answered that had been weighing on my mind. I woke up really b*%^%Y this morning, but doing much better now. So, I've progressed another cm. I now 4 cm and still at 80% effaced. The NP did an aggressive membrane sweep/stretch and said that my bag of water was really thin. I was so hoping it would break right then and thee and so was she. I told her if my water breaks today or if I go into labor in the next day or 2 I would be back with some sweet gifts!! So, I'm hoping things will get moving, but not banking on anything. If nothing happens this week, then I will again get a sweep next week at my 40 appt and then if nothing by 41 weeks the NP said that my Dr would be willing to break my water and see if I can deliver on my own since I've already had one successful VBAC. So, that was music to my ears. I was worried that I would automatically have to have a repeat c/section at 41 weeks if she has not arrived by then. So, as long as I do not stall out in labor then I should be able to avoid a c/section. I've been cramping since I got home and I hope the sweep is moving things along. If not, then I guess I will have my Dr appt to look forward to next week Kohen is doing well. H/b was in the 130's and I'm up 36 lbs now.....holy sheep

Oh I'm very happy for you. I can see how it would be stressful thinking if you didn't go into labor by a certain date you would have a c-section. Glad they gave you some peace of mind on that! I hope the appt. moved things along for you. Good luck!!!

I woke up the same way! Tears, a nap, and a thousand oreos helped.

What a great appointment! WONDERFUL news about the vbac! I bet that is such a relief! I can't believe you are walking around at 4 cm! Kohen is going to be here any minute.

Great news from your appt! I am in the same boat as you with VBAC and trying to avoid the c-sec. Sounds like things are ready to go and it is only a matter of time.
