On December 1, 2015 at 20 weeks 2 days pregnant
Had Consultant Appointment
Had my former birth experience reviewed and have been told that I'm a good candidate to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section) as my EMCS was due to DS's position rather than any other means. However it will all determine on my GD (gestational diabetes) status.

Turns out I should've had a GTT done at 16 weeks, which wasn't mentioned at my booking appointment nor at my 16 week midwife appointment. I've been appointed one for 10th December, and have also booked the 28 week GTT appointment.
