Apparently its a must read for VBAC births and anyone wanting a natural birth too I guess.... I've heard great things about it, but just wanted to see if someone had a copy they were finished with or no longer needed!

I just bought this book on US Amazon... because of the strong dollar at the moment it only cost me $26.00 from a secondhand seller... its $80 here in Australia which is why I was looking for a copy!

Check it out on Amazon.

Sorry I missed this, I have a copy but I don't want to sell it

It was fantastic for me & preparing for a VBAC.

Its kinda hard to find too, you have to buy it from the US online if you want to get it at a reasonable price. I've been looking at getting it too but got discouraged when i woulda had to get it shipped over otherwise pay $80 but after reading this thread i have a renewed desire to get it hehe. I might try amazon too.
