Any good VBAC movies?

Thread Starter 
I am looking for a good VBAC movie to help a mama in her decision to have a VBAC. She is very "main stream" and influenced by media (I plan on having her also watch this movie )


But I also would love for her to see a movie focused on VBACS - that I could sit and talk with her about. She doesn't have time to read much because she has twins and is a movie person over books.....

She is a potential Doula Client/casual friend... I want her to make an informed choice... she has shown interest in a VBAC but feels like everyone and thing around her is telling her its dangerous!!!

(I am sorry if I posted this in the worng place- I was torn between Birth Professionals, Media, and here.....)

Is the Abby from the movie? The one who had a breech cs? If so, that's so AWESOME! Great source for VBACers, thanks for posting this!


To the OP, The book Birth After Cesarean http://www.amazon.com/Birth-After-Ce...5743176&sr=8-1 Is wonderful. It's broken up into questions everyone asks about VBAC, so each "section" is like a paragraph long. So even the busiest of people can read it, stick it in the bathroom and read a paragraph when you pee, that's where a prego mom spends most of her sit down time anyway. lol! You can't beat $2.50 too, and it's full of tons of facts, and answers and why VBAC is safer. It does need a little updating though, as it was written in 1990 or so, but most of that stuff is on ACOG stance and such, nothing that would hinder an educated decision.

oops, my bad. I knew she had lots of abdominal surgeries and I thought one of them was a C-section.
