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.

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.
Yours in choice
