In reply to the discussion: Forced C-Section [View all]laundry_queen

the whole VBAC thing started in the late 80's early 90's. I had my VBAC in 2000, after my first C-section (then had 2 scheduled C-sections - long story). There is seriously NO comparison in recovery. None. With my C-sections I was sent home 4 days later, in great pain, hardly able to walk. With my VBAC I walked out of the hospital, carrying my baby, 12 hours later. 24 hours after that, I was going for a walk around the block with my husband and kids. It was SO amazing, LOL. Sadly, many doctors and hospitals are forbidding VBACs once again...litigation issues.
