My Twin Homebirth VBAC (HBAC)

Tells about why we chose a homebirth vbac (HBAC) for our twins' birth, followed by a music video of the births. Comments asking sincere questions about cesarean recovery, VBAC, or twin birth welcomed; abusive ones will be deleted. This is meant to be an inspirational video for my friends and family, birth advocates, and anyone preparing for an upcoming birth. If you strongly oppose homebirth, go comment on an anti-homebirth site or video, instead. :-)

Thanks!

congratulations! your twins are the same age as mine (two girls) but I didnt have the same courage to deliver them @ home so I went for a scheduled c-section on june 27, 2007 :o) once again congratulations!

@Salamphoenix It's not about courage! It's about just doing what you know is right for your family, and many times, the right thing *can* be a c-section. No regrets!

Amen! I was so encouraged by this video. We just found out at our 20 week u/s that God has blessed us with twins and are prayerfully seeking a provider who will allow us to have the birth experience that we believe is best for us! Your video was a great boost to my spirit and reminder that God can provide exactly what we need!

Isn't God so great?! I am so happy to hear you were able to give birth to your beautiful twins naturally and safely.

May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family :-) Congratulations (even 4 years later)!

So inspiring! When i grow up, i wanna have 4-7 kids. Childbirth looks like such a blessing and amazing miracle that I don't want to miss out on.

I've had 1 emergency and traumatic C-section with my first, but have had 4 successful VBACs. I had a surprise pregnancy this time around, only to find out at 20 weeks that they are twins. I was instantly booted from the midwife (Midwives must pass mothers of multiples on to an OB here) and my dreams of a HBAC were smashed... Until I started researching and now I am looking into freebirth of my twins. This was so inspiring that there ARE options! Congrats, and what a beautiful video!

Good for YOU!!!!!! I would have done the same. My home birth of my twins was the first for ALL the midwives in my area. I posted my birth story too!!! Blessings and good song choice for sure :)

[marabovsky]

wow! very inspirational. i am a nursing student hoping to become a midwife soon and I just wrote a research paper last week on the safety of VBAC births :) it is appalling so many doctors and hospitals wont allow it. congrats on your lovely children, and i commend you for A) a homebirth B) vaginal delivery of twins (also not allowed by many hospitals) and C) a VBAC. you go girl!!!

Very inspiring-thank you for posting your story, it gives me courage for the future :)

Wow, I was just thinking the other day if people actually did this with twins! Amazing you went almost full term with twins and had them naturally! Just awesome, congratulations!
