Birthing Without Fear

Hi Eveyone,

I don't post much, but I came across this awesome blog today (that was rec'd by someone on VBAC I think).  It's called Birthing Without Fear.  I would post a link, but I don't know anything about the terms of the board and I don't want to violate them!

I had a c-section with my son for failure to progress and have always felt that I missed out on the natural birth I had envisioned for myself.  I was undereducated and terrified, accepted every intervention they presented to me, and kind of let the birth happen to me.  This time, I am aiming to VBAC with the support of my doctor.

I really liked this blog because it shows strong, confident women who face birthing head on.  There are several different stories.  It is an inspiring blog that I hope you all find as great as I did.

Happy Reading!
Anna

Thanks for the post!! We all need to read these positive birth stories to both motivate/educate us AND to counteract all the crazy Hollywood scenes in tv and movies about birth we're inundated with.

I also wanted to add that my best friend had an emer csec with her first son, and JUST had a successful and smooth VBAC birth with her second son. She said she was soo glad she went the VBAC route and found an OB who supported her. Good luck!!
