Excellent!...although the writer does make homebirth sound dangerous rather than safe.
I hope some on this list will write letters to the editor regarding this article. Another side issue of course is the fact that VBAC women are being put at risk because they are being excluded from some birthcentres and treated horribly in hospitals... Hence a growing number of these women want homebirths to give themselves the best opportunity to birth normally and naturally in a positive environment and some are doing so unassisted because of the problems mentioned in the article. There are also quite a few giving up and going into hospitals which is, IMHO, in some cases, even more dangerous. I know that if I have another it will have to be a homebirth because the hospital system does not generally support VBA2C women even though publications such as Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth state there are no contraindications to VBA2C if the pregnancy is normal and the mother is healthy. Good on you Justine and Jan. Cheers, Cas. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
