I've be...Don't you love it when you have the power? I've been in a couple of those situations, it always amazes me how the attitude changes when they are on the receiving end. <BR/><BR/>Our hospital just got approval to start doing VBAC's again (after being a big no-no for the past 3 years) and we've had 3 wonderful & successful deliveries so far! I was scared in the beginning, but they are not as scary as everyone makes them out to be. Sure, you have to be on guard and have everything in place in case of an emergency, but don't we do that anyways? Plus, with VBAC's, it's kinda nice to know that everyone is "in house" to begin with when we have an active labor going on. We are a smaller hospital, so they are not always there, but we can have a doc there in less than 10 minutes if needed. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading your blog, it's great to read about other L&D nurses out there!Brooke (CrazyRN)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11882528566199274506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-47049824702595828342007-09-14T13:40:00.000-05:002007-09-14T13:40:00.000-05:00I came across your blog when I was diligently doin...I came across your blog when I was diligently doing my research on the pros and cons of a VBAC vs. a repeat c/s. I am facing the same decision in December too, with my second child! (actually we have a lot in common: we both have Jacobs - mine is 15 months - both live in the Midwest, both under 30, have kids that are/will be close in age, and we are due 6 days apart). I appreciate your oppenness regarding the VBAC subject (especially from a L & D nurse! This is invaluable info), b/c I too am at a loss at the moment. My kids will be 18 months apart, and my first was born via emergency c/s under GA. Not a very reassuring delivery for a first time momma. However, I would do it ALL OVER again the exact same way (with the same outcome of course) if I absolutely had to. My current thoughts are to attempt a VBAC, as my doctor is supportive of either decision. But there are definitely days that I'm unsure of that choice too. Ugh! Please keep blogging, I'll keep reading!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000554887585110598noreply@blogger.com
