VBAmultipleC

Thank you for that lovely montage. It most certainly is possible and more than I think women know because of the lack of support and belief within themselves.

I had a VBA2C in a hospital a little over a year ago.. the feeling is phenomenal. The risk of multiple c/s are greater than the risks for a VBAmC!  Sad most people don't know this.

also, Xauby, doctors do not know everything. they practice within their comfort zone.

did you know that most ob's NEVER even see a natural, unmedicated and intervention free vaginal birth in medical school or residency? how could they possibly be experts in un-interfered with birth? ob's are trained surgeons, not trained in normal birth.

what happens to you in pregnancy, labor and birth has more to do with your caregivers beliefs and philosophies than YOUR health or the health of your baby.

i had a my vbac baby at home and it was AMAZING! thanks for that beautiful video! Iris

I agree Xauby, what's the point of risking yourself & your baby? Having major surgery that you don't need (especially a 3rd or 4th+ cesarean) is RISKY. All kinds of risks increase with additional c-sections, but the risk of uterine rupture after additional c-sections does not.

Unfortunately, some OBs recommend interventions that are not only unnecessary, but actually harmful to moms & babies.

Go to the ICAN site for more info.

Umm yea, what's the point of risking yourself and your baby? If my mom hadn't had a C-Section, I would be dead and so would she. Some women need C-Sections. I see it as, if there is an intervetion, or you doctors recomend it for past health reasons, you should get a one to ensure the safety of you and your baby.

I agree that cesareans have their time & place. My first baby was born with a severe birth defect that almost took her life & required me to have a classical cesarean. My second cesarean was completely not needed- my son was engaged & although he was born cesarean, had a cone head... When I have my 3rd I plan on trying a vbac even though I have an inverted T with the possible help of Dr. Tate in Atlanta or a midwife for a HBA2C.

Fantastic stuff girls. It shows our bodies are meant to push out babies despite medical intervention playing such role previously. I can't wait to achieve what you have . I'm so excited about the prospect of child birth and don't plan on stepping into hospital to birth my babies. Don't ever forget what our bodies are designed to do. Have faith in your abilities girls xxxx so emotional x

Actually Onlooker the risk of uterine rupture is less than 1% after c-section. The risk decreases further if a doula is present and you have a homebirth as the more relaxed you are the less the contractions hurt and they more they work. Do you research and never tell someone that having a c/s are wrong about how they feel b/c I know that it is traumatizing, disappointing and on top of that violating to have a c/s when you want and understand a vaginal birth and know why it is best.

Thanks, ladies. This video is fantastic...and of course has me in tears. Tears that I was not expecting.
