Oh boy, such an emotional rollercoaster. My ultimate dream and goal was a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). Since I had a c-section with my first baby, the doctors wanted to schedule a sectio on 41 weeks. Why? Because they hate risks and the risk of a scar rupture went up from 0.07% to 0,14% between 40 and 41 weeks. Ridiculous in my opinion since my body was in perfect condition and baby was still super happy inside.

Every day I got closer to 41 weeks, my anxiety grew. Labor didn't start... I was so devastated that the doctors didn't want to let my body do it's natural job. I felt in my soul that my body just needed more time.

So ... I declined their proposal to schedule the sectio at 41 weeks and was able to push it back one more week.

I do not promote this, but I felt in my core this was the right decision for MY situation. Every body is different and if your doctor is afraid for you and your babies health (with good reasons), listen to your doctor.

But happy I didn't listen hehe.

See you at my labor and delivery vlog, I cannot wait to share it!
