Thanks for the vid. I cried through the whole thing..the song is very very fitting. I was forced into unecessary c-sections..im scarred to get prenant again. I dont want another sugery.
My eldest is 8 today, 8 years since my first late-labour c/sec. VBAC with DS2 born@36wks. DS3, 40wks & tho I fought for vbac, noone had faith that I could push a 40wk baby out. Ended up coerced into another late-labour c/sec.BUT I had a HBA2C in 2006, to my biggest, DS4. Each birth is unique, dont give up hope, fight for your dreams. I am glad I laboured: I gave my c/sec boys the best I could with the power I had at the time.
No one's mentioned yet - but there is hope - about 70% of VBAC attempts are SUCCESSFUL! It's a tough fight, but don't give up! Bravo to these brave women for sharing their pain and letting people know that not all of us who had a c-section enjoy being part of the "sisterhood of the scar."
I'm attempting a VBAC any day now. I know the odds aren't good. The moment I arrive at the hospital they inform the operating theatre. That says alot. I just pray everything goes ok. Thanks for your vid it's powerfull
WOW, I cried throughout this vid. My heart truly bleeds for all these brave mamas, so wonderful of you to share these sacred moments. What matters most is that your babies were (and are) fully aware of your intent and they are truly blessed to have such brave and amazing mamas.
I wanted to let everyone know I did have a successful vbac on November 28, 2006. There is still hope ladies. Many many prayers that our rights to have a vbac don't disappear as they are in many hospitals.
I don' know why my previous comments aren't here anymore but I am one of the women in the video and I still bawl everytime I watch it. I cry, shake, vomit, and have nightmares. Why do I come back? The same reason you visit a loved one's grave: TO REMEMBER.
Sad, my wife has lost her only chance... She can never have any.We lost a son, she was 5 1/2 months pregnant in her tube & never knew she was pregnant. Then they told us we could never have any. They had to take her other tube out the following year. God Bless all of you, God has a reason for Everything. Thats the only way we made it, Understanding Faith.
It is so sad that we live in a society where c/s are viewed as an easy way out instead of a medically necessary procedure. My c/s was very traumatic for me, but there is a way out and that is attempting to VBAC. I was successful and I have been so proud that I proved so many people wrong and accomplished what I set out to do. Great video, awesome song!!
My twin girls were born via c-section by a dr who made the choice for me. I am currently 35 weeks pg with my 3rd child and planning a vbac. This video really touched me as I can very much relate to these women. (((Hugs to them all)))

I had a sucessfull VBAC 15 months ago, you can see my video (although it is too dark).
My tip is to take a doula with you, make a birth plan and go to the hospital later on the labour, after 6cm, on active phase.
Trust yourselves, you can do it for you and your babies. Good luck!

Very touching! I tried for a vbac and failed 4 months ago, so I can certainly relate. Very good choice of music... who's singing?

The band is The Cranberries. Were you in the hospital with your VBAC attempt?

I grieve with these women. The loss of a vaginal birth for those seeking one is profound. It is something that will never leave me as long as I live.
Although i started crying during this (recalling my own c/s experience), I loved it. Thanks for posting!
