Book Reviews of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean: The Smart Woman's Guide to VBAC
Book Review: claims to be balanced but doesn't seem to be
Summary: 1 Stars
Hello, I am a doula preparing to support a mother who is trying for a VBAC. I picked up several VBAC books from the library. This one has made me feel very uncomfortable. It seems to be an advertisement for repeat cesarean while simultaneously claiming to be fair and balanced. The anti-VBAC tone makes me wonder whether the statistics and information presented are accurate. I wouldn't recommend this book to a mother who wants a VBAC. I understand that not all women want a VBAC, and that there are pros and cons to trying for one, especially after a traumatic first birth, but I think there are other books that address these concerns in a more balanced way without making women feel afraid of VBAC as this one does.
