-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dean & Jo Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 4:54 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Birth After CS booklet Just wanting to let people know that CARES SA have just finished a 70+ page document covering all the issues about Birth After CS. It is AMAZINGLY GOOD (if I do say so myself! I am SO proud of Carolyn for putting it together). It covers common myths then follows up with current abstracts; highlights policies and management; outcomes and so on. ALL evidenced based. ALL current. Contents page: Table of Contents South Australian Perinatal Practice Guidelines 4 Best Available Research Comparing Risks of VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and of Planned Repeat C-Section 11 Women’s Satisfaction with VBAC 17 VBAC After two Caesareans 20 Midwifery Care and VBAC 24 Preparing for a Vaginal Birth After Caesarean 28 Frequently Asked Questions 35 I was told… 39 Homebirth After Caesarean 46 Uterine Rupture 52 Another Caesarean 66 Recommended Reading List 68 Statistics 71 Glossary 74 CARES SA INC. is a non profit organization who provide understanding and compassion for women recovering from caesarean birth, planning caesarean birth or aiming for a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC). Awareness of the individual’s rights to make informed choice is a main focus of the group. We encourage women and their families to become actively involved in the decision making that will effect the birth of their child. Aiming to increase community awareness and understanding of the issues surrounding surgical birth is also a main focus. Recovery is a crucial element for maintaining good health. It is very important that a woman is fully informed of the physical recovery, but more importantly we focus on the vital need for emotional healing. Through a safe, caring and understanding environment, women and their partners are encouraged to follow their path to emotional healing. Education is important when making decisions and it is our goal to be up-to-date on current trends and philosophies. By providing relevant information to women and the community, we hope that a greater understanding of the effects of caesarean birth will reduce the amount of traumatic experiences. Support for birth choices is vital, especially for those seeking vaginal birth after caesarean. By providing women with the options available to them and then respecting that choice, we hope to empower women and their families to achieve the desired positive birth for both mother and child. ----------*---------- We will be willing to supply email versions for people at a small cost -perhaps a CARES membership of $20 pa- further details will be available for those interested.
