I think Jo is on the right track suggesting VBAC clinics
 
Yeah, a perfect world.  I am wondering if it is something that is a viable option?  If David is out there, would that be what you were trying to achieve? 
Wouldnt it be great to have a vbac clinic that has vbac supportive doctors, midwives, birth support people and educators?  Ah! whilst we are dreaming, lets throw in a birth counselor into the equation.  Continuity of information, care, attitudes and understanding of all a vbac faces....betcha the success rate would be through the roof!!!!  It would certainly decrease the number of repeat cs (49.9% -or 1102 cs -
of repeats were based on previous cs in1999...if we could even halved that, 550 may have been successful vbacs.  optomistically ofcourse.)
 
Is this type of thing that hospitals would have to embark on themselves?  Is it something that could be run as a government backed (ha ha!!) project like the community mw?  Any suggestions?    Anyone willing to suggest it to their own hospital?  If there are Adelaide mw out there who think we might have a chance (all beit slim) that one of our hospitals would do it...after all we do have the highest cs rate!!! - give me a bell.
 
I challenge you!
