Hello Alan,

Thankyou so much for your help. The research you suggested would be great. Having studied to be a midwife myself (only one subject to go - keep getting pregnant!) I know some of the pros and cons but if you have any other info, it would be great to hear.

I do plan on having a fellow Doula with me for this birth. The public hospital where I am going, my uncle is the head OB, so really I should be able to say what I want! haha. When I mentioned the vbacx2 to him, he basically rolled his eyes and gave me a look like, am I crazy? Doesnt do much for my confidence!

I have been told that a homebirth would be my best option, but after a bad first labour experience, it worries me not to have the hospital there just incase. Maybe Im crazy?

You can contact me via claire_margin@hotmail.com. Would be great to chat! Thankyou so much for your help.
