Does Peggy O's book address VBAC?

[stretchmark]

I want to buy this book but want to make sure it has some info on VBACs.
Does it?

Want to make sure she doesn't have a book I don't know about, but I have "Having a Baby, Naturally" and she has 3 or 4 pages on VBAC specifically in the book. I got that from the index and the subcategories in there are "Why is VBAC Used?," "When is VBAC unsafe?," "How Effective is VBAC?" and "Is VBAC Safe?" I'm not sure if she comments elsewhere mixed in the book about VBAC as well.

She does have some info, but if I remember correctly, she suggests that you not attempt HBAC.

From glancing at the book, it appears Peggy is supportive of VBAC, and she does give in her birth stories section a successful HBAC though I don't know if she comments personally other than printing the story of the woman.

I'm not all the way through the book yet and have been reading it slowly with pregnancy so don't remember every detail. I skipped the VBAC stuff originally since it isn't my situation.

Ina May's Guide to Childbirth has A LOT of info on VBACs, inluding questions you must ask before attempting. I highly recommend this book. My friend recommended it to me, she is a doula who had a successful HVBAC.

Good luck!

Thanks all.

I have read Ina May's book but sold it when I thought I was done having kids. Oops.

I'll just wait until sis-in-law is done with her copy of Peggy's book.

Luckily there is a hospital 40 minutes away that still allows VBAC as an option.
