Two years ago November 24th, my water broke and I began to hemorrage at home. I was rushed to the hosiptal only to find out I would be transferred an hour away and have an emergency c-section that same day. My son was taken out of me at 31 weeks gestation and I have never been able to think about it without crying ever since. Although he is now healthy with only one complication (which is even questionable if it's because of his prematurity--he has bowel movement problems, being very irregular ie. once every 9 days or more)I still cannot stop to wonder what I could have done differently had I known I had placenta previa. I was told it was low-lying but that it would move up and I could keep on my regular routines of work at the office, weight training, and the regular married life stuff. Two years later I am pregnant again and living across the country in a new province. My biggest fear here is that I am in a small town where there are no specialised doctors (ie. there are absolutely no pediatricians and no ob-gyns). I would like to attempt a VBAC but am not confident with making that decision since I am in such a small town. One doctor adviced me to try the VBAC. She seems quite confident that it will be alright. Another doctor from out of town, an ob-gyn, was more reluctant to give an opinion either way. She did comment however, on this small town not having the best care for babies born in emergency situations. How can I go about finding out what this hospital is exactly prepared to handle so I can make a more confident decision.
