Newly Pg - Book Suggestions

[chie96]

Hello all I am newly with #2 and am planning a VBAC. It's been very hard finding a provider who does not require constant monitoring in labor but I think I may have found one (funny how it is a male OB and not any of the CNMs I have interviewed)!

I am slowly making my way through the threads on VBAC in this forum and also wondered if anyone could recommend a good book for me to start reading now? I need to do all I can to prepare myself. Any other thoughts would be appreciated!

HI

I am also newly pg with #2 and I am planning a Home vbac. I have read many books on the subject. My favorites were "Silent Knife" and "Open Season". I just read the VBAC Companion but I didn't like it as much. I would also suggest checking out ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) at www.ican-online.org. There are many good resources there as well. The internet in general is packed with good vbac info

Good luck in your journey and Congrats on the baby!!!

i'm planning to vbac in early august when baby comes....

I eally liked Silent Knife and i did actually like VBAC companion also.

my favorite books tho have to be "the thinking womans guide to a better birth" by henci goer

and birthing from within

wishing you a successful birth experience!

Oh yes, I have also read "Thinking Woman's Guide" a couple times and "Birthing from Within". They are 2 of my favs. But they dont touch too much on vbac which is something I really need

And congrats to you too!!! Happy birthing
