Confirmation Appointment

I went to get medical confirmation today!  It's legit...we are pregnant.  I saw Dr. Reynolds and he confirmed it.  I got a due date of July 25, 2012.  Blood pressure is good and my internal exam showed everything looks good and as it should.  We spoke about having a VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean) this time around and I told him that I was open to it.  I asked what my chances were of being able to do it.  He said that women who are doing VBAC already have about an 80% chance of actually being able to do it.  In my case, he give me about a 60% chance of being able to do it.  So, I'm not counting on it.  But good news is I will get to have this baby a week earlier if I am a scheduled c-section!  So it could  be a July 18th birth date!  We will see.  We also spoke about the possibility of miscarriage related to my IUD removal in February.  For those of you that don't know...my IUD (Intrauterine device) punctured thru my uterus and was sitting in my pelvis.  It had to be removed laproscopically.--yeah, I won't be having another one of those, rest assured.  He decided to do an ultrasound in 4 weeks, just to make sure that everything looks good.  Next appointment is Dec 14, 2011.
BTW...I hear everything starts happening faster the second time around.  I'm already seeing signs of that.  My boobs are already sore!  I just hope the heartburn stays away as long as possible!
