Hi there Hopefulmom and Jayne, I am greatful I've found this post as I'm in the same position as Hopefulmom.


I'm attempting a VBA2C, my last birth was a failed VBAC. I realise that the only difference between then and now is how my faith in God has grown and in my VBA2C journey I am trusting Him and only Him to deliver my baby safely.


I too face doubts sometimes and I want to cry my eyes out…..thru my tears a small voice will remind me that there is a love out there bigger than anything we know, a love that can overcome the greatest obstacles known to man, a love that is accessible to even a young mom in a small town of South Africa wanting nothing more than to push her baby out the way her body was designed to.


It is that love that I put my focus on, that I allow to wash over me and totally drench me leaving no dry spot of fear.


I hope that your VBAC journey was a success.

Hi Trusting God


Every now and then i log onto this website and read a couple of the stories and if something touchs me  i will reply. your message has really hit the nail on the head as to how i was feeling before my VBAC. My birth story is on this website under VBAC birth stories – Jaynes VBAC birth.

You have described exactly the way i was feeling. i was told all these incredibly awful horror stories by my gynea about ruptures etc etc. she gave  me a whole pile of statistics – which i later found out were just a thumb suck on her behalf.

By wanting a VBAC and persuing a VBAC you are not being selfish but i believe you are being curagious and selfliss as it is not an easy path. i had a lot of people telling me im mad and its dangerous and blah blah blah. i was also in 2 minds at one stage! but i prayed and prayed and prayed that if it were the wrong decision for me God would firmly close the door and that there would be no doubt in my mind that what i was doing was right. Let me just say that God is good. I had the most wonderful experience ever that i am now on my way to being a Doula. i believe that God has led me to my calling in life via my VBAC.

You are not making the wrong decision. If you opt for a ceasar you will always wonder “what if”. Do not even entertain the thought of a rupture – your attending midwife will take such good care of you that if she suspects there is a problem she acts on it – she will not let you rupture. Also the actual percentage of women who do rupture is really tiny. out of all the midwives iv spoken with none of them have seen a rupture. it is not something that happens regularly.

You can do this – remembe something – God made us to have natural birth. He does not make mistakes and he did not think OH OOPS i should have equipped every woman with a scalpel kit to cut her baby out. C-sections are great but only for real emergencies –> not for lazy doctors!!!

Go for it!!! you can do it.

gone birthing

God bless

I am planning for my first VBAC.newbie  I'm really determined, but at the same time scared – not scared I won't be able to handle the surges etc. – scared that it is the wrong decision to do VBAC, that I will rupture and that something will happen to me or my baby.  I keep asking myself – is it worth the very small risk – am I being selfish – what if something happens to me and by kids and hubby are left alone?  But somewhere a stronger voice in me is pushing me forward towards a VBAC – I instinctively want a normal birth – even more so than the first time around.  Why do I have this urge?


I have decided to go fullsteam ahead for a VBAC and trust that God will steer the process in the end – that He knows my heart's desire and that He will do what is best for me and my baby and protect me and my baby no matter what (VBAC or C-Section).  I am trusting that He will keep the uterus in tact.  I am however only human and sometimes doubt gets the better of me – how do I know that a VBAC is God's will for me, what if God decides to allow a rupture, what if I'm making too big a deal of this etc etc.  


Please may I ask that anyone out there who also believe in God pray for me and my baby girl.  For guidance, confidence, strength, faith, safety and a wonderful VBAC experience.  Please.
