The VBAC Blog

Due to the incredible response we’ve received to this blog (in only 48 hours!!), we have decided to compile some VBAC stories into a book. (For those of you who don’t know, we publish books for a living).

We’d like to include both positive and negative VBAC stories so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you think your story would be a good fit for this project.

Each contributor chosen for publication in the book will receive $20 on acceptance of the story and a copy of the final print version of the book when it’s available.

If you think we’ll want to include your story, please send a brief synopsis (one or two paragraphs) of your experience to angela – at – booklocker.com. Do NOT write the entire essay now because we will need to determine if your story will be chosen to be included in the book. We don’t want you to do a bunch of writing for nothing.

Each story will also feature the author’s bio.

We’re only interested in VBAC stories from the mother or father involved (first-person stories), not from third parties, please.

So, if interested, please send that short synopsis to: angela – at – booklocker.com

I’ll respond quickly.

Hugs!
Angela

Two of my friends had VBAC’s at home and they say they owe it all to their ability to relax and flow and the fabulous support of their trusty midwife. You’re strong. You’re intelligent. You’re a woman. Your body was made to birth babies. Welcome to the 2000’s where doctors are trained to fear natural birth.

Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth is an incredibly informative and encouraging book, if you’re looking for more support.

All the best,
Chris

Hi Angela,

You might want to talk to Peggy Vincent, she was a midwife for 20 or 30 years and wrote the book: Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife. She has a website: http://www.babycatcher.net

She can give you everything you want to know about vaginal birth after cesearean and all kinds of info that you will find fantastic. Reading her book is an amazing experience. I’ve had two children and learned stuff I never knew from her book! Please, contact her. She’s a big deal in the San Francisco area and has delivered a ton of babies, there isn’t anything that she hasn’t seen or dealt with.

Hope all goes well.

Dawn
