We don't use continuous EFMfor women planning vaginal birth following caesarean, and they use the tub too. Yes, it IS a safe and 'viable' option for women, and the percentage of women giving birth vaginally (since numerical values seem tohave more street cred than the experience, as far as

2002-09-23 Thread Jo Dean Bainbridge
I would like to generate discussion on the list about typical vbac labours if I may? As a great number of vbacs are women whom have had a 'drama' in a previous birth which resulted in a cs, there is a valid belief that the woman would probably bring a number of 'issues' into the vbac.
