Hi Ladies

I'm a 3rd year midwifery student in Adelaide. I had a VBAC in 2002 (at a private hospital with a very high CS rate). I could not have done it without the information and support offered by CARES SA. Suggest you check out their website for info, then head to one of their meetings. You will get hands on info about how, who, what you need and don't etc. In WA check out their website is wonderful too, but can't vouch first hand for their support groups.

To achieve a VBAC (Let alone VBA2C) you need info, determination, planning. You need someone else in that labour room with you (midwife, student, doula). CARES (and prob Birthrites) can help you with all this.

Good luck - it can be done. But if it doesn't work out, you need to feel you gave it your best shot.
