When I got pregnant with my second daughter, I knew I wanted a VBAC. My doctor told me that I was a perfect candidate, but we would "see how things were further along". Flash forward to 37 weeks (November 2011), my water broke and I went into labor naturally. I labored at home most of the day and then went on to the hospital.
I guess my story starts with the birth of my oldest daughter. She was breech, so they were planning a cesarean but we had some complications and she was born born via Emergency CS, due to placental abruption in January 2010.
