Hi Mindy, I reckon the onus on providing evidence in support of the repeat c/s (or induction) should rest with your ob. Where is the evidence? What does the research say? I highly recommend hiring the services of an independent midwife for your vbac, the continuity and emotional support will

Today I had my first waterbirth. It was so beautiful. All 4.8kg of him manipulated his way out all by himself. Mum was able to describe his movements to us in a running commentary even down to telling us that the shoulders were rotating after his head was born. tears in Dads ( and the

How beautiful for you all Andrea. Congratulations to all of you. The peacefulness of waterborne babies is truly amazing to observe isn't it? The hope of the future is peace at birth. I'm fascinated by how they perfuse so steadily and completely, they don't have the blue hands and feet that

Wow that is absolutely brilliant that Rhea's work is being spread to the Mornington Penninsula, hopefully even more after this. As a student of Rhea's this last year, I can highly recommend it as being an essential course and I would love to see Obs having to do her course as a pre-requisite to

Yes Kelly, I instigated this. I wanted to do the course but can't go so far from home with alot of women due. So Rhea was kind enough to offer to come down here if I could get the numbers. I agree, I think alot of the information she teaches is what we don't learn in Midwifery. I think it's
