Hi Henci and all,
I just wanted to update this posting to report that I had an intervention-free vaginal birth after classic cesarean on 3/29/2007. I labored at home for less than 6 hours and arrived at the hospital 26 minutes before our daughter was born. I was complete upon arrival and she came out with 3 contractions. I will say this birth was the most rewarding event in my life. It was significantly empowering. I am quite thankful that I didn't experience uterine rupture and found a supportive provider who respected my wishes to VBAC (although he didn't make it to the birth because of the brief time I was in labor there).
Thank you for your feedback during pregnancy!
Angie
