It's always helpful to step back and look at the big picture, isn't it? Owain was 42 weeks and healthy as can be, born in the middle of a hot August. Same with Ellis, who came 10 days after his "due date". You are most definitely strong enough to handle the heat and discomfort and waiting...all of that will melt away when you finally meet Amelia on the "outside"!

But I am so glad I gave my baby time to come when she was ready. when I finally did go into spontaneous labor, it all went smoothly because she was ready to come. I had my VBAC after two c-sections. Of my three births, the VBAC was by far the best and the easiest to recover from. Certainly, c-sections can be life saving when needed. But if you can avoid surgery, there are tremendous benefits. I do know that induction increases uterine rupture rates, however, I have heard of some methods for gently jumpstarting labor when necessary - you may find help and good information at the mothering.com discussion boards if you are interested.<BR/>Good luck with everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31485000.post-42894746191067660822008-07-08T21:33:00.000-05:002008-07-08T21:33:00.000-05:00Mine were both c-sections for good reasons plus th...Mine were both c-sections for good reasons plus the fact I was - gulp - 40 and 42 for mine! But have you thought about going for a ride in a jeep over a rough road? My friends who went overdue with all 3 of her natural births highly recommends it!TinkingBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424679933020998879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31485000.post-22262586374424941512008-07-08T20:58:00.000-05:002008-07-08T20:58:00.000-05:00Good for you for trusting your body!

Amelia will come when she's good and ready and the chances are greater of her coming before you hit 42 weeks than after.<BR/><BR/>Shame on the doctors - the one who said you'd probably end up with a cesarean because of your age (WTF, seriously?) and the one who pushed you to schedule one at 41 weeks this time around.

You're doing great, and I applaud your VBAC desires! My sister got to schedule her induction for 38/39 weeks- I didn't get to schedule one till I hit 40 weeks, then I got sent home from the hospital when I was past 40 weeks, 4 cms and contracting with my 4th baby....
