Anyone done this?? This is what I am planning (even though it is months away!) and so far I have a midwife who seems to be happy to support me with this.... So what next???? HELP!

 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
I don't know anyone personally that has had a VBA2C but I'm sure if your circumstances (health wise) are ok and you're keen enough then I say go for it and good luck

Have you had your IUD out, i didnt think they let you have a natural birth with an IUD in but i could be wrong...

Nope IUD still in there, and midwife assures me that it won't be a problem as it will come out with (tmi!) mucus plug... only problem to get through is actually getting through labour that she can see... It is such a long way away but I want to prepare myself as best as I can!!

I do know someone who had VBA2C & then went on to have a 3rd c-section, I am not sure of the reason for the natural birth only know that all her babies arrived early - the last one 4 weeks early to no.3 may have taken them by surprise - we live a good distance from the hospital.
I can't offer you any help on how to prepare just best wishes and luck.

Thanks everyone. I attempted a vbac last time but had no support which really sucked. I guess I will just have to keep researching myself.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Wow that's fantastic news! My last two were posterior also (don't know about the first, the c/s) - long early labours but I didn't need c/s with them.

that sounds fantastic Toni (hehe I feel like I'm talking to myself! I've never met another Toni )
All the best with your home water birth - that sounds so lovely!
I wanted a water birth, but it didn't work out for me *sigh* and I'm far too chicken to have a home birth! 
Caitlin was posterior too. What's a pregnancy rocker?

Hi Toni! (Two Blondinis). A pregnancy rocker helps to get bubs into a good position apparently. My midwife said perfect for me with my history of posterior babies I still so excited about it all today! Spents lots and lots of time last night reading through everything she gave me, really great info!
