    Does anyone have any VBAC book that they would like to lend out/sell?

    ***MODS... can you please add 'books' into the title... it is meant to say VBAC books... oops!***

    Well the title says it all...

    I am wanting to read all of the VBAC books I can. I am going to do this. I am going to have a VBAC and I need all of the knowledge I can possibly get.

    I have been looking at buying 'Silent Knife' but could not find a copy, not to mention these books are very expensive.

    So... does anyone have any great books that they would like to lend me? Or sell? I promise I will look after them

    Deanne.

    I'd recommend checking Amazon, they always have great VBAC books. I already passed mine on, so can't help, but I read Silent Knife, VBAC Companion & New Active Birth. I think I had two others but can't recall their names right now.

    Deejoy is sending me one (thanks Deeanne) but I am not sure what it is called.

    I am thinking of buying the silent knife in the classifieds if it is still available.

    Thats it so far though... hoping for more though, the more knowledge, the more power I will have

    I think I have Sarahs VBAC companion, though she is probably not aware of this I would be happy to pass it onto you if you do not already have it and are interested - and then you can pass it onto another when ready.

    That sounds like a great idea. It was passed onto me with the instructions to 'pay it forward' when I had finished with it, and I think the Bellybelly centre would be a great place for it after you have read it. I felt it was generously given to me (by an x bb member who Im so grateful to) and I want to keep that blessing going with this book (so you dont need to pay me anything ).

    Give me a bit to clear my inbox and I`ll get your details for posting.

    Hi,
    I don't have any books but there is HEAPS of information on the plus size pregnancy website! I really reccomend you have a read of the stuff there. The website is focused on pregnancy for people who are overweight but they have heaps of fantastic information for any pregnant woman. I printed out an article that was about 200pages long that has all the VBAC stats and recomendations and heaps of info. I found it a really great resource for my VBA2C. Good luck with the reading and I wish you luck with your VBAC!

    Plus Size pregnancy website: Plus-Size Pregnancy Website Cover Page

    Some other good websites are;
    ICAN - International Cesarean Awareness Network
    Birth Rites - Birthrites - Healing After Caesarean
    VBAC - VBAC.com - a woman-centered, evidence based, resource.

    Hope this helps. If you have any questions about VBAC feel free to msg me as I recently had a VBA2C. Happy searching and studying
