I'm pregnant!

[Climbergirl]

I just tested today (not even first morning urine) and I got a positive pregnancy test. I know I am going to take a few more, just to be sure, but hey, I am pretty confident we are pregnant (3w5d).

I will be going for a VBAC and it will most likely be at home. I want to do everything I can to be as healthy as possible, but I feel the mainstream sources I used last time failed me.

Could someone point me to a few good holistically minded websites (or books) on being pregnant and what I can do in order to maximize my chances of a VBAC?

Congrats! I'm planning an HBA2C so I know how you feel right now! Home is the best place a (low risk) VBAC can be!

CONGRATS! My favorite book right now is "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper. It has a lot of VBAC, water birth, home birth information and resources. )
