I receive emails from women on a regular basis who have heard that I have had successful
VBAC unassisted births and want some direction and advice because their insurance company won't cover the birth they want and they don't have money to pay out of pocket.
Not exact matches
Having been the victim of an unnecessary cesarean the first time, and having to wage a legal battle WHILE in labor during my
VBAC (which I accomplished, no thanks to the medpros) I can say that I will absolutely go
unassisted for my next
birth, if I have to.
I've had one c - section, one
unassisted birth, a midwife assisted
birth, and a hospital
VBAC.
It is interesting to learn that women are willing to go to the extreme of an
unassisted birth for something like a
VBAC when a licensed doctor or midwife could attend to her.
The ladies come from all sides of
birth natural
birth, midwives, medicated
births, obstetricians, home
birth, c - sections,
vbacs,
unassisted, etc..
The real problems: A dangerously and unacceptably high doctor - endorsed C - section rate (over 32 percent), a for - profit medical system that puts money over moms, and a lack of childbirth choices, especially for women who have had previous C - sections, so severe it drives some families to choose
unassisted VBAC birth.
