Joy Bailey replied to Meredith Cook's discussion expecting 4th in 4 years, hoping for VBAC and starting homeschooling...any advice! in the group Kids and Parenting Corner"No personal experience with VBAC but professionally my understanding is that while 24 months is preferred, it is safe to attempt after 12 months. Congratulations and good luck!"

expecting 4th in 4 years, hoping for VBAC and starting homeschooling...any advice!
Hi!I'm reaching out for support or advice from any seasoned moms (or dads) out there. I've just found out that I'm expecting my fourth baby who is due right after my oldest turns four. I also have a 2 year old and 7 month old. This will be four children four and under which is both very exciting and scary!I firmly believe that it is God's will to bless us with this new life and I embrace it. I was hoping to have a VBAC (I had to have a c-section with #3 due to previa) and I wondered if anyone…See More

- i saw a post of yours and in it you mentioned about wanting a vbac. i HIGHLY encourage you to look up your local chapter of ICAN (international ceasarean awareness network). you can get lots of good advice from the people at ican. some good advice to have is who to go to. some docs have better rates of vbac than others. i found my midwife through ican. it REALLY mattered to my husband and i that my recovery be quicker. my first four were vaginal. my 5th was a partial previa transverse baby. i'll be more than happy to answer ANY questions you might have. our chapter here in atlanta is SUPER active. i think we have about 200 members. we have a support message board where i can get info for you as well. or you can join the board just for information- even if you don't live in state.
His peace be with you today,
elizabeth
