Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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.

Because books.

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?

Because books.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's more the uterine walls, from what my doc told me. I could try VBAC, but the way my PA put it, "You already know the route to grandma's house. Don't put tire ruts in her lawn."
