    Breech doesn’t automatically mean c-section…vaginal breech is safe.27 weeks ago

    Nenywonkers: [via YouTube] Wow, my son was born May 8, 2006…I had a c-section also. I didn’t want a c-section but he was breached and at that point my son’s life was a lot more important than my delivery preference.50 weeks ago

    Kelly: Congratulations on your new baby. I’m sorry your labour and delivery didn’t turn out the way you wanted to. There is always a chance for a vbac next time. I think have your water break prematurely can really inhibits labour.

    I had a c-section with my first because she was breach, her water actually broke early but I had no contractions in the 4 hours I waited for the c-section. With my second birth I started pushing as soon as my water broke. I hope your second eventual delivery goes much bettter.1 year ago
