Carrying Chloe
Finally posting Chloe's birth story! ------ December 2014 What a whirlwind week it has been! I knew the week would end with a baby; I just couldn't picture the process. (Check out the birth story of my firstborn here. ) Because I had to have a c-section with my first at 38 weeks (due to placenta previa), it was always my plan to pursue an unmedicated VBAC with my second pregnancy. I found an extremely popular VBAC-friendly doctor ( Dr. Damon Cobb ) that I could trust 100% with my care knowing that he truly would be my advocate in the birthing experience. This pregnancy was probably the more difficult of the two. When I was about 5 weeks along, I was actually bummed that I wasn't sick. If I wasn't going to look pregnant yet, I at least wanted to feel pregnant. Two weeks later, evening-sickness hit me hard! Beyond the normal nausea, I felt ill. My tummy would ache or my head would hurt. I was grumpy easily and would go to bed early to sleep it
