I really hope you're able to find a care provider who will support your decision - I'm sure there are dozens of women on here who can understand how difficult it can be to find a care provider who will support their right to autonomy (I'm thinking of VBACers, elective c/sections through public system without medical indication and homebirthers).

I'm sorry that you have witnessed so many VB's gone wrong - that's obviously had a huge impact on your view and I'm am genuinely sorry for any trauma you have experienced in your role as an RN.

I also wonder though...all the natural births you have seen gone wrong...I wonder how many of them were true 'natural births' as opposed to attempted VBs with a multitide of interventions that increase the likelihood of emergency c-section? Just a thought...

All the best with your search,
