Thank you for your input.
I gave birth on the Western Slope, in my little house, in a lovely valley where many women gave birth at home and breastfed their babies. I'm grateful for those mamas who taught me so much!
I haven't been to a hospital there and didn't know that there was a "Ban on VBAC." That's very unfortunate and we do need families to fight this reduction of health care options.
Usually it's not vaginal birth itself that is dangerous. With VBAC and first labors, the risks of complications are increased by giving/using drugs (pitocin, misoprostil) that cause the uterus to contract abnormally.
The International Cesarean Awareness Network has a great website, with a forum for mother's to share their stories about VBAC. There is support for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean.
April is Cesarean Awareness Month
