Baby arrived yesterday. . She wore 7lbs 6oz and 20in long. I was trying for my second VBAC and it was unsuccessful because her heart rate was dropping tremendously. I dilated fast,  I was 2cm at doc office the previous day and when I got to the hospital I was 5 cm.  I progressed to 7 cm within 45 minutes and thats when everything happened.

Try to get some rest. Snack to keep up your strength. Breathe. Think positive. Walk. Distract. Your miracle will arrive when the time is right. Have faith!

I spent two days having them 8-10 minutes apart for hours then at like 1130 pm, they just quit for the night.  I was so excited last night when they were between 4.5-5 minutes apart for a couple hours,  went to the hospital amd they told me they werent strong enough and sent me home. Hopefully you have better luck!
