Thank you for writing. I think ...Hello Gasculita, <br /><br />Thank you for writing. I think the things that helped me the most were as I mentioned above (having a midwife or doula who has extensive experience with VBAC deliveries was crucial). The physical things I did that I believe made the difference were the following:<br /><br />1. Cat-cows. 100-200 a day starting in mid-late second trimester. If you don't know what a cat-cow is, here is a link showing a woman doing the poses:<br />http://www.fitsugar.com/How-Do-Cat-Cow-Pose-26662589<br /><br />2. NEVER SIT BACK! Again, starting mid-to-late second trimester, don't ever lean back. I sat straight up or leaning forward, to be sure the baby kept its back to my front. That was crucial in my delivery, to have the baby's back NOT against my back but to the front.<br /><br />3. Prenatal yoga. I feel like this really helped me relax. My yoga was called hypnobirthing. I'm not sure they have that where you are, but that sort of relaxation was really important to me keeping "loose" and not stressing out over the impending birth.<br /><br />I hope that helps, good luck to you! :)<br />Tiffaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971376426900073057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086416954974464870.post-83998885011507701412014-01-24T09:36:34.485-08:002014-01-24T09:36:34.485-08:00Hi there! Your story is truly an inspiring one. I ...Hi there! Your story is truly an inspiring one. I am only 7w pregnant and I am searching all over the place for info regarding VBAC. My lil man did not want to come out and at 42w he was without amnio fluid and an induction would have been futile. This time around I really wish for a natural birth. Is there any exercises you would recommend? Much appreciated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086416954974464870.post-19199693399653793112013-09-06T10:02:52.187-07:002013-09-06T10:02:52.187-07:00Haha, Nicky!
