Anyone here have experience with VBAC? I’m approaching my due date and I had to have a C section with my first due to placenta previa and my OB has approved me for a VBAC with a C section scheduled for 41 weeks to give me the biggest opportunity. Any advice? Things you wish you knew?

I had a c section and opted for another with the 2nd. I asked others for personal experiences including another gyn dr friend if I should try for the Vbac and she said it was over-rated. She still tore and had to be sewn up, she suggested keeping a “single point of exit” if I was pretty sure I would only have 2 kids. She did say if I thought 3+ were a possibility to consider a vbac as risk of complications go up with each c section (more scar tissue In the uterus).

I had a VBAC. I didn’t even have that bad of a c section experience, and I still prefer the VBAC experience. I had no epidural but did have a small dose of pitocin.

I did a vbac with my second. I had a particularly awful experience where the epidural slipped out and was too late to replace, tore, and had post birth hemorrhaging. But that could happen to anyone. If not for those things, I can see the advantages of a vbac for ease of recovery especially if you have another little one at home, which was a big driver for me

P. U. S. H!! If you can. I had a emergency C- sec w baby #1 and V with Baby #2. Baby #2 was much smaller and slid right off. It was magic! If you can try it go for it. Recovery a lot smoother

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?

I work for a fairly small company. We have had a lot of growth recently. I made a comment that I was not happy with the company culture. The CEO wants to meet. We have a good relationship. My question is…should I send a email with specific examples ahead of time or just keep it as an “on the fly” convo?
