Don't Cut Me Again! True Stories about Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (Vbac) (okładka  miękka)

Once a cesarean, always a cesarean? Not quite! Have you had a cesarean section (c-section) and are you pregnant again? Is your doctor or hospital trying to force you to undergo another c-section, just because you've had one previously? Are they spewing statistics about the potential consequences of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC), but not telling you how dangerous another c-section can be? Across the country and the world, women are being forced to undergo major abdominal surgery against their wishes, often for the convenience and profits of the doctors and hospitals. Yes, a c-section is often billed at much higher rates than a vaginal delivery! Would it surprise you to know that many doctors do, in fact, support VBACs in healthy women, but are instead allowing the hospital and their own insurance company to dictate the medical care you're about to receive? That's right! Your doctor's insurance company, not your physician, may be directing your care right now! In these pages, you'll read true stories from women who refused to submit to the medical community's threats and fear-tactics. These courageous moms instinctively knew what was best for their babies and themselves and, after having a prior c-section, they successfully birthed their babies vaginally. DON'T BECOME A STATISTIC! If you feel you're being forced into a cesarean against your will, or if you're trying find the courage to attempt a VBAC and don't know where to turn, read this book.
