midi27 - its great to hear from a professional point...Im sure if the statistics were made to be compulsary that in the same breath or page what have you it could also be explained about the high VBAC and good vaginal rate. I think it really needs to be broken down to great detail so you know the who's, when's, what's and why's.

Maybe a leaflet should be given to each mother to be when they do their hospital book ing about the statistics ect. they give you other useless pamphlets and lets face it we all end up throwing away atleast half of the printed material.
