Problem: Article: Be upfront about wanting this type of delivery so your doctor knows and can help you reach that goal. Tell them the reasons why you prefer a vaginal birth so they can understand why it's important to you.  For instance, you could say, "I know I had a C-section with my first birth. However, I'd really like to try a vaginal birth this time around. I'd like to experience that aspect of childbirth, and I've heard the recovery time is quicker." Keep in mind, though, that your doctor may discourage you from this option if they feel the potential complications outweigh the benefits. However, if your doctor is completely against it, despite you being a good candidate, you may want to get a second opinion. Another doctor may be willing to try a VBAC with you. If you have a new doctor, make sure you include all of your medical history. That way, they can help you make an informed decision about the risk factors with a VBAC. Never lie to your doctor, as you could be putting yourself at risk.  Make sure you tell the doctor if you've had a successful vaginal birth or a ruptured uterus in the past, for instance. Certain genetic factors may play a role as well. For instance, if other women in your family have had problems with vaginal births, you may continue to have trouble giving birth that way, too. Certain other risk factors, such as being overweight, being an older mother, or carrying the baby past 40 weeks, also put you at risk for complications from a VBAC. If you have these risk factors, you may want to consider having a C-section instead. Similarly, if you have other health issues or are expected to have a large baby, your doctor may discourage you from choosing a VBAC.
Summary: Tell your doctor you want a VBAC. Be honest about your medical history. Talk about other risk factors that may mean you can't have a VBAC.

You can wear suede, matte leather, or patent leather Chelsea boots for a night on the town, depending on how dressy you want to appear. The key to looking trend-savvy in Chelsea boots and a suit is fitted pants. You’ll want a nicely fitted suit with narrow leg openings to look tall, lean, and fashionable. To look amazing in your little black dress, wear black tights and black boots to create a monochrome look that makes you look long and lean.  Pair black and grey suits with black leather boots and black or brown boots with navy and brown suits.  Your pants should extend just a few centimeters over the top of your boots when standing. You want most of the boot to show as you walk. To dress up your outfit, add jewelry like a nice watch, sparkly earrings, or a fancy necklace. Little accessories like pocket squares, matching suspenders, and leather belts that match your shoes really add polish to a dressy outfit.  Don't underestimate the accessorizing power of one or two great items. A normally drab outfit can be made into a wow ensemble with a posh bag or a big statement brooch or necklace. If you are trying to keep it professional, keep flashy accessories to a minimum. But for a night on the town, feel free to add pizazz.
Summary: Pair your boots with skinny jeans and a scarf for a smart, trendy look. Dress up with patent leather boots and a suit or a little black dress. Finish off your outfit with nice jewelry and matching accessories.
