VBA3Cs? Who has seen this?

What a brave woman!  Have you seen this article or heard about her?

Personally I don't know if I would have done the same thing in her situation.  But all the same I'm happy that it turned out so well for her.

Very interesting!  My best friend is planning a VBAC at home and it makes me super nervous.  Especially considering her home is 45 minutes away from a hospital.  Personally 0.9% chance is too high for me to attempt a VBAC at home, I would not do an amnio and I think the chance of that causing a miscarriage is 0.5%.  I do admire her for sticking to her guns and insisting on the birth that she wanted, and I'm glad that it worked out for her.  I wish the American medical community was not so set in their ways that no one would allow her to attempt it in a hospital.

Brave brave brave girl.

Not a risk I'd be willing to take.

DH sent me that article last week.  I think it's unfortunate that she was possibly uninformed, & may have had unnecessary c-sections the first 3 times.  I think that if I had a c-section, I would want to attempt a VBAC.  However, a VBAC after THREE c-sections is incredibly risky, ESPECIALLY as a home birth.  I think that what she did was irresponsible.  I'm glad that the outcome was good, but it could have been very, very bad for her or baby.

It sucks that it took her getting pregnant 4 times before researching labor and delivery on her own. But I am glad she got what she wanted and it all turned out well.
