Book Reviews of Birth After Cesarean: The Medical Facts
Book Review: must read BEFORE your first delivery!
Summary: 5 Stars
I so wish I had known with my first pregnancy what is in this book. After now having had an unfortunate four c-sections, this book gave me the courage to say NO to the knife and look for alternatives. I am now planning my first VBAC and have no fear! The most impressive thing is that this book is written by an actual OB and is a compilation of all the studies, which I would never be able to read or even know what to make of them. The only objections I have is 1) his statement against homebirthing VBACs. In my situation, I have no choice but to have a home birth. I am afraid some women after reading that may have the idea that it is safer to have a c-section then a home birth, which is not the case. When he wrote the book it was easier to find a dr willing to do a VBAC, but sadly most hospitals and drs no longer allow them, particularly after more then one section. 2) his statement that breech pregnancies due to a malformed uterus is not good for a vbac- in my experience as well as that of author of Natural Childbirth after Caesarean, it is entirely possible to have a properly positioned baby even with a malformed uterus, if you know what to do!!!
