    KoolAid?

    I don't think so.

    It was my dr. who pushed the VBAC on me.

    I'm not imagining my problems--I didn't have them after the first 2 sections. They came on in full force after the vaginal. They healed and improved somewhat between the 3rd and 4th birth (mercifully, a c-section) and did not recur with the fourth.

    They were and are real problems. They were caused by vaginal delivery. If I could do it over again, I would insist much more forcefully on a c-sec.
