HBAC (Homebirth after cesarean)

The story of Lucas Matthew's birth
Born at home 7-11-09 with two midwives, their apprentice, and my husband present.
My water broke around 4 in the morning and contractions started coming 2-4 minutes apart almost immediately. It was a gorgeous day and my husband and I were able to go for a nice long walk to speed up labor. When things got intense I hopped into the pool for some relief. My body started pushing with each contraction just hours later but the baby wasn't budging. Unfortunately his birth was less unhindered than desired due an anterior cervical lip. My midwives intervened 7 hours later and he was finally born after 21 hours of labor.
It was a beautiful labor and empowering birth. It was especially healing of all of the dark memories from my first hospital birth that ended in a c-section. I was really able to connect with my husband and my body during all of it. It was truly a life-changing experience!

When I saw how your other son was kissing your new baby I felt like crying from the love you can see coming from him !

wondering what state you are in? I had a c-section with my first, hbac with my 2nd, considering a 3rd child and wondering what the chances are of a HBAC since my midwife lost her license.
