cover your eyes, Kalshane
This makes me laugh. I realized I've been told that (or "cover your ears" for face-space) numerous times in the last year.
Where are all the other menfolk around here, anyway?

Oh, they pop in and out occasionally. D. Gris was around for a while, but haven't seen him here lately.
The babies have invaded here, too! Babies everywhere!
Sorry, but there's been a cranky baby here at work and people just giving it "Oh, look, a baby, how adorable!" looks. I'm working here, people! The day care is the building next door!
You'd think these people had never seen a baby before. My county has a birth rate comparable to Bangladesh, for god's sake! Really, it does.
Victor, too. Sometimes.
It is a pretty estrogen-heavy thread, isn't it? Hadn't really occurred to me before.
What's VBAC? Do I even want to know?
Vaginal birth after caesarean.
When Cs when done the old-fashioned vertical incision way, you had to have Cs thereafter, for fear of rupture, etc. Now, most of the time, you can go the other route, if you choose.
Ah. Are those....not good?
Sorry -- I thought an explanation might be necessary, and went back to edit.
They're not bad, as long as it's not contraindicated for you (as in, if you had a C for a medical reason other than failure of labor to progress, or a baby in the wrong position).
Steph, I had the old style c-section, vertical line down the tummy. My doctor insisted my second be delivered also by c-section. The newer ways of cutting open for c-section (bikini cut) allows for VBAC. Something to do about the way the tummy muscles run and the stresses on them.
